Spotlight does not find text in Wikipedia articles saved by Safari as Web Archives
Posted: Thu Sep 10, 2015 8:38 pm
Bug report:
I have just found out that Spotlight can not find text in Wikipedia articles that have been saved to disk as Safari Web Archives. This affects Bookends and is the reason why Bookends can't find text in Wikipedia articles stored in the Attachments folder.
Other Safari Web Archives are fine. It's just text in articles from *Wikipedia* that can't be found.
Until Apple fixes this, we will just have to save the articles as PDF files, although that means loosing images, colors disappearing and hot links not being displayed anymore in underlined and blue.
I strongly encourage everybody to send a Bug Report to Apple by going to:
