We should index unread articles so that Spotlight search can find them

It would be great to be able to search from the iOS search function

We do have Spotlight integration for articles as long as it is one that you have already read. I guess what you are asking for is for all articles, even unread ones, to be indexed?

Yes, why unread would not be indexed?

I just made a bad design decision. Unread should also be indexed.

I'm going to change the title of this issue to more accurately describe the issue.

We should also try integrating Spotlight search on macOS. I think when I implemented it we were still supporting older versions of macOS that didn't have the API available.

We should also implement a Spotlight index extension so that if the OS needs to rebuild its Spotlight index, we can participate in the process. This probably isn't possible unless we find some way to share the SQLite database between processes.

Basically I think that any article downloaded should be indexed in Spotlight regardless read or unread. I am not a technical person so I hope it can be done. This is useful if you use the app in different devices and you want to search from spotlight on some specific keyword
