While recent .txt and .rtf documents show up in Finder's Favorites "recents", my .py plain text documents (Python scripts) never do, and that's by far the most common file type I need to search for.

I checked Searchlight and all 20 file types are selected (including Documents).

Question: Is there some way I can get recently edited, or perhaps even recently opened or accessed .py text documents to show up in recents?

notes:

1. I want to use Finder rather than the IDE I use to edit the files because I am often looking for something else that's old, like an input file the script uses. So the recently edited .py document is often (but not always) my way of locating the specific folder.
2. I have lots and lots of small projects = lots of folders.

No solutions here:

• Recents not showing all file types on iMac (2017)
• Can the excessively limited "Recent Items" list be adjusted to include more document types? (2014 - 2016)
