New feature: Index subtitles for Spotlight search? #179

Description

@future10se

I noticed the app uses a Spotlight importer to implement its functionality.

It would be very cool if this could also allow Spotlight search to index the contents of embedded subtitles, chapter names, etc. This way, you could do a Finder search in a specific folder and find videos that contain a specific word or phrase. (e.g. what episode a character first gets introduced, or which video covers a specific technical topic.)

That said, I do acknowledge this app is called "QuickLook Video" and this might be out of scope. I'm also not familiar with how complex implementing this might be, so I understand if this is more than just "low-hanging fruit".

Either way, thank you for making this. It reminds me of the good old days with Perian and makes it much easier to quickly browse and skim through clips in my video library.
