How to have spotlight index .tex files?

Question

I want spotlight to index my .tex files and show them as possible results when I search. I imagine the solution would work for any extension, but right now I only care about .tex

Answer 1

TexShop should ship with a Spotlight importer that does the job.

If not, you can try this homemade solution:
