OpenMetaSpotlight
OpenMetaSpotlight is a Spotlight importer plugin for macOS that extends Spotlight search to index and search metadata stored in OpenMeta tags and annotations. OpenMeta was a metadata framework that let users add custom tags, ratings, labels and comments to files outside of the standard Finder tags, storing this metadata in extended file attributes. The Spotlight importer makes OpenMeta-tagged files searchable via macOS Spotlight, allowing users to quickly find files by their custom metadata. This plugin integrates directly with macOS's system-wide search functionality.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionOpenMetaSpotlight is a Spotlight importer plugin that is part of the OpenMeta ecosystem. To update it to a native Apple Silicon build (if available), you need to update the main OpenMeta application or framework that installs and maintains this plugin — there is no separate download or installer for the Spotlight importer component itself. Check the Openmeta vendor website or support documentation to see whether the parent OpenMeta product has been updated with native Apple Silicon support. If OpenMeta itself offers a native build, reinstalling or updating the main OpenMeta product will automatically update this Spotlight importer plugin alongside it. If you cannot find current information from Openmeta about Apple Silicon support, contact the vendor directly to ask whether a native build exists or is planned before macOS 28 ships in September 2028, since an Intel-only importer plugin will stop functioning on that release.
