I’m looking into OS support for full-text indexing, for the database engine I work on. On Mac OS, there’s SearchKit, which does exactly what I want. iOS doesn’t have SearchKit for some reason, but it now has Core Spotlight, which lets me index data. The intended use seems to be for device-wide searching in the home screen’s search UI. Can I instead use it for my own queries?
iOS does have NSMetadataQuery, for querying Spotlight. Can I use this to search only the data I’ve indexed, without results from other apps? And conversely, is there a way to keep the data I’ve indexed from showing up in the system-wide Spotlight results? —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
