Better support for 'natural language' Spotlight string searching #511
Description
Often I type "passwords" into MacOS Spotlight to search for this app. That figures… it's where I keep my passwords!
But KeePassium cannot be found if you do that. It's confusing, because if I type "passwords" on GNOME, for example, it brings up my passwords app (called Secrets, incidentally).
If code commits were allowed here, I would use the MDItemKeywords feature of Mac apps. Placing the following into https://github.com/keepassium/KeePassium/blob/master/KeePassium/en.lproj/InfoPlist.strings
MDItemKeywords = "pass,password,passwords";
You can see how they do this in another app like Transmission.
I know there is a 1st party MacOS app called Passwords, but Spotlight should be smart enough to work out which one your users use the most. I know for me it is always KeePassium! Other languages could take advantage of this in their respective translation files.
