Indexing files with the .m extension [message #1970] Sat, 20 September 2025 03:30 Go to previous message

Hello,

I use the Matlab language which has files using the extension .m

Finder shows a few thousand of these .m files in my installation.  They are within the Documents folder hierarchy so my FoxTrot Personal should index them.  But, FT Personal searches for *.m and .m don't show files with the extension.  I get a lot of hits but these are files that contain the search string but not filenames ending in .m.

Is there a way to index these files?  Is it possible within the Personal edition to limit the search to filenames?

FT Personal v.8.5.1 build 3173 (Apple Silicon)
M3 Macbook Pro 36GB RAM
Sequoia 15.7
