Many of my scripts etc in intellij are marked with a question mark. Then when I click on them them it prompts me:

The file "bla" cannot be associated with a registered file type.  Please choose one:

<insert table of file choices>

This would not matter except the files are not searchable (with ctrl-shift-n) until they are marked as text. This is a major problem for me. I have an enormous code base and I don't want to mark all of the unknown files as text. Is there anyway that I can do that?
