    I have a "Windows Applications" folder in OSX Applications folder - why can't I type their names and see them in Spotlight?

    I've tried adding the folder to Spotlight manually on the commandline but it simply doesn't add it. I don't understand as the folder with the Windows helper apps isn't in the VM but on the OSX file system.

    Please?

    Hi,

    Unfortunately Spotlight do not search files in bundles. All Windows applications resides in the VM folder which is bundle.

    So maybe Windows applications SHOULD'NT be in the bundle?
