Hi Joseph,

You can find quite a bit on the SearchKit at http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Reference/ SearchKit/index.html

Thanks :)

For some reasons, I cannot find this doc on my local machine... is this available online only? Or I did forget to install something?

If you're familiar with Lucene, it has fairly similar logical constructs (not surprising, given the author),

Aha! Is that the work of Doug Cutting also?

but doesn't offer quite the level of flexibility that Lucene does for it's indexing and search components. For instance, there isn't a mechanism where you can provide an "analysis" package to tokenize words in a way you might like (with stemming, without stemming, etc) and you can turn stop words on or off, but not provide your own custom list.

Hmmm... bummer. I'm pretty familiar with Lucene [1], but I'm still looking for a "native" alternative for some Cocoa project of mine. Any ideas?

That lack of flexibility is by no means a strike against it though - It's low level, fast, and effective indexing and search.

Thanks. Will give it a spin. Any ideas about what the other NLP related frameworks are about?

Cheers,

PA.
