Good question.

One possible theory: The search API it probably used was deprecated in 10.7, in favor of a newer one introduced in 10.6. (Daniel Jalkut's reference to his app being "enormously faster" would be explained by this.) It's possible that not many people used it, and therefore updating it never got enough priority.

You can. But it seems to me that the old Apple app, Daniel's app and the security tool all have one potential short-coming: they all add themselves to the access control list, rather than your app. By putting the code in a framework and accessing it via a script library, you can limit access to just your app (and script editor for testing, I guess). That also makes it potentially more portable than the two apps.
