You probably need to ask a more specific question. Cocoa doesn't really
differentiate between "searchable" and "non-searchable" data
structures. So what you're really asking is how to implement search?
If you want a "quick search" ala iTunes, take a look at "Filtering
Controller" on this page:
http://homepage.mac.com/mmalc/CocoaExamples/controllers.html
If you want to create and maintain on-disk indexes, you can look into
SearchKit:

SearchKit/
If you're app would benefit from a object-relational database model
(which it sounds like it would) route without mucking with external
servers or query strings, email me off-list and I can get you a late
build of DataCrux to play around with.
