Config/INI files are not indexed by find_file or grep #8

Feature Request / Gap

Config and INI files (e.g., DefaultEngine.ini, DefaultGame.ini, DialogueTags.ini) are not included in the file index. Both unreal_find_file and unreal_grep cannot find or search these files.

Reproduction

unreal_find_file(filename: "DefaultEngine.ini")  → []
unreal_find_file(filename: "DialogueTags.ini")    → []

unreal_grep also cannot search INI file contents since they are not in the index.

Impact

Agents working with:

  • Gameplay tag definitions (defined in INI files like DialogueTags.ini)
  • Build/engine configuration (DefaultEngine.ini, DefaultGame.ini)
  • Project settings (various config INI files)

...must fall back to Glob/Grep for both file discovery and content search. This is one of the remaining gaps preventing the MCP tools from fully replacing filesystem search tools.

Suggested Scope

Index .ini files under the project Config/ directories so that:

  1. unreal_find_file can locate config files by name
  2. unreal_grep can search config file contents (e.g., finding where a gameplay tag is defined)
