Well, the index with "Item" in the name is for BibItems, and the other one is for file contents; when BDSKSearchIndex was created, I didn't think we'd be using indexes elsewhere. I'll start documenting those classes; there are some weak relationships that are tricky, and the interaction with SKSearch's async searching adds more complexity. How about if we contemplate this feature for a bit longer and release a new version in the meantime? That would help limit the scope of potential bugs. -- adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
