For file types that are not able to be thumbnailed or indexed, there should still be basic support for querying the file's title, extension, size, and modified time.

I can't think of any reason not to provide this functionality. It would be easy to provide "fallback" icons for types that lodestone cannot handle but recognizes, such as json and zip.

I don't think there should be an exclude list at all -- just 2 tiers of "full support" and "minimal support".

Edit: depending on the response to this proposal, I also thing there should be fallback text indexing for any files not able to be parsed by tika. Basically any text files that can be unicode-decoded should be searchable, like csv and json documents. Need to do more research on tika and your implementation to understand how difficult this is.
