Interesting.  This was my first time looking at searchfs(), but it's deja vu of 
PBCatalogSearchSync() or PBCatalogSearchAsync(), especially the crazy structs / 
parameter blocks.  And yes, the PBCatalogSearch stuff does seem to be the 
*higher* level API, because they feature the asynchronous flavor, which 
searchfs() does not.
