Prevent Spotlight from indexing terminal-notifier.app

[sonicdoe]

This commit places terminal-notifier.app in a mac.noindex folder so that Spotlight does not index the app (Spotlight does not index folders ending with .noindex).

If you happen to have a few npm packages depending on node-notifier installed, you’ll encounter quite a few terminal-notifier.app results when searching for “Terminal” in Spotlight (or in any other app launcher that uses Spotlight’s index). Since there’s no point in opening terminal-notifier.app by itself and it just clutters Spotlight’s results, I’d suggest removing it from the index.

Side note: Why not .metadata_never_index?

The above-linked Stack Overflow answer also mentions .metadata_never_index as a way to prevent Spotlight from indexing a folder. However, as noted by Nate in the comments and mentioned in OS X Incident Response: Scripting and Analysis, it only seems to work at the root of a volume.

Any movement on this? Was really quite confused why doing cmd+space + ter + enter quickly was causing notifications and not opening terminal 😂

@mikaelbr any updates on this? This effects literally every Mac user, and we love node-notifier, but it's turning into a huge headache.
