Hey guys, I have quite a collection of ebooks and its been bugging for some times now but I don't know how to get Spotlight to search the contents of .chm files. I've been told I should decompile them but to be honest, I really don't want to do that.

Anyone know how to go about this? It's Leopard I'm using btw.

Thanks :)

So, no-one uses these forums then?

You might want to try using HoudahSPOT (http://www.houdah.com/houdahSpot/). I'm not sure if it will search the contents of the CHM file but you could always give it a try.
