Hi Rasmus,
You do need to have one file per findable item, and you cannot get a
callback at search time. You may not care about latency at search
time, but Apple does. :-)

What is the correct way to cast from CFDataRef to NSString, I have this code:

warning:pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'stringWithCString:'
Something like:

the encoding type will depend on what encoding you expect the data to

Hey Steve,
In this case, you are returning a regular integer (count returns just
a regular, scalar type). But you've declared your return value as id,
