Not only file types, you need to consider storage backends. So some apps may
store data in SQL or LDAP or the virtual file system. So there should be a way
for apps to advertise what important data is stored where and how to index it.

Sounds good, but make sure you consider the effort to create your own with using
a library from another project, to not reinvent the wheel if you don't need to.
