If you ship an app for macOS, please do this! I hardly see this at all with Mac apps.

In your info.plist, add `MDItemKeywords` and the value is a list of keywords for your app separated by commas. This will show up in your More Info window for your app under “Keywords”.

Why is this useful? Let’s say you make a Mastodon client app called anything BUT Mastodon, if you throw “Mastodon” in this list in `MDItemKeywords`, searching “Mastodon” in Spotlight would surface it as a search result!

@marioguzman does this work on iOS, too? Or do you know if there is a similar way to appear in iOS Spotlight search?

@meaningful_jan this is macOS only — iOS doesn’t have this.
