The search is never finished until you decide it is by cancelling the browse.

Bonjour sends multicasts queries with an exponential backoff, up to some maximum amount of time. When a Bonjour service is advertised/registered on an interface, a multicast is sent out as well. As long as you have that browser open, Bonjour will keep watching for a matching service to appear, either as a response to one of the multicasts it sends or through an announcement sent by a device arriving on the networking or starting the service.

The only alternative is a timeout and timeouts are bad.

Maybe I didn't make it clear enough what I'm looking for. If the delegate receives a netServiceBrowser:didFindService:moreComing: message with NO for the moreComing parameter, that means *something*, right? Sure, there could be unusual circumstances causing delayed notification about some service, and more services could come online later, but I probably have the whole story for now. That's the kind of "that's probably it for now" information I'd like to have in the case where there are no services.

If I use -[NSNetServiceBrowser searchForServicesOfType:inDomain:] and there happen to be no services of the specified type, my delegate gets netServiceBrowserWillSearch:, but nothing else. How can I know when the search is finished?
