Hey, I'm doing a search using MDQuery and it's running much slower than a search for the same term in the spotlight menu. The menu can complete the search in about 3 seconds, while my app can take 9-13 seconds for the same search. Here is the code I am using:

MDQueryRef query;
    query = MDQueryCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault,
                      CFSTR("kMDItemFSName == '*.radiusconfig'"),
                      NULL,
                      NULL);
    NSLog(@"Starting query");
    MDQueryExecute(query, kMDQuerySynchronous);
    NSLog(@"Ending query");

I am also wondering if I can run more than one set of search conditions in a query. For example, I want to search for files ending in both .radiusconfig and .stellarradius. Thanks!

All FS type searches are slower

the menu does this

kMDItemDisplayName == "*.radiusconfig"

this will be much faster

DisplayName is the cached name as you would see in the Finder, FSName does a catalog search
