From help :

> EnableApplicationFiles: Applications can be imported/indexed.

Go to `Help > Documentation > Appendix > Hidden preferences`

There are links “On” / “Off” behind each hidden preference.

Clicking “On” behind `EnableApplicationFiles` should disable skipping of application files.

Offtopic: I wrote a script that indexes a duplicate of DEVONthink’s help. You can find it here [Index DEVONthink help](https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/indexing-help-or-macos-help-viewer-vs-devonthink/46475/20).
