	I'm ever so slightly confused.

I thought NoContents meant, don't look at the contents of files with
these extensions, but do index the filenames.  Guess not.

How do I get that behavior? I.e, I thought, ok, I want to be able to find
everything, so I thought I wanted to either Index a file or examine its
contents (htm,pdf,txt,xml...etc).

Seems like FileRules excludes files entirely from the index, where I had
hoped to index the filenames, but not process content for unknown file-types.

I'd thought that maybe I could include filenames in the index, so if I typed
in horse, and had files like "horse.wav", and "horse.gif", they'd pop up in the
query.

It sounds like there is no easy way to do that (custom script would likely
do the trick...just hadn't gotten that far yet)(?)  I.e. I have to either
include or exclude a file, and NoContents implies not to index all words
that are found, but only certain keywords (like Title).

Stumbling off to a great start; bouncing from one misconception to the
next...:-)
