Nothing but that the majority of docs are not PDFs. Even if all HTMLs are
converted to PDF -- which would be IMHO a mixed blessing -- there still are
things like headers or man pages or my own plaintext docs which I am too lazy
to convert to PDF.
Besides, a decent search app should provide search services -- and to do
that, it has to be a Cocoa one (at least currently).
