It's pretty simple and managed by OSX.

- Select a filetype you'd want to change the default application for and open the File Info (Cmd+I) - In the "Open with" section, select the app you want to be the default app for the filetype - To persist the default app along the whole filetype, also click the "Change All" button right below it.

I wouldn't know why you'd want to do so(slowing down the search), but it seems possible (or close enough).

Scroll at the way to "Make Spotlight index source code" here. http://www.macosxtips.co.uk/index_files/terminal-commands-fo...
