I managed to get some NSMetadataQuerys working but when attempting to use any of the scope constants, the query returns immediately with no results. Here's the various syntaxes I've tried:

NSMetadataQuery     *query        = [[NSMetadataQuery alloc] init];

This works
[query setSearchScopes: [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"/System/ Library/", nil]];



which is interesting, as I don't believe anything in /System is actually indexed. You'll be able to search on File metadata items, but nothing else...


I'm just using it as a quick way to get a list of paths to specific types of ".strings" files. I loop through the result list, read the content and process them myself.

one other point of interest... if the.strings is in a document bundle that is registered, it won't get searched.
