Spotlight doesn't like .cs & .dso files (without serious geek intervention!). What to do? Freeware MTLibrarian to the rescue::

This tool takes the contents of a folder (or multiple folders) and creates an index of the file's contents. You can then easily search the index. [You have to tell MTLibrarian to index cs & dso file extensions (don't enter the dot, just the extension); and you have to tell it what application you want to open for editing (I like Smultron, but opinions vary).] You can save as many different MTLibraries as you like (or throw all your projects into one huge MTLibrary). You can also tell MTLibrarian to update the indexes on a scheduled basis (or do it manually).
To use MTLibrarian (once configured and the folders indexed)... Select a folder (or folders), enter a search query & click on the eyeglass icon. The resulting files are listed ranked by relevance. Double-click on one of the files and it will open in your editor of choice.
I've used this wonderful tool to cross-index my Cocoa projects for years. Even with Spotlight around, I still depend on MTLibrarian to make sense of all the files in all my projects. Now that I've gotten all TorqueScript happy, I'm once again finding myself using MTLibrarian on a daily basis.
