Two things: 1. A long while ago the APFS team at Apple asked for input on what's needed - I then asked for fast catalog search support, in the ways of the searchfs BSD function. Has anything happened in that direction?
2. And then there's a possible issue around reporting support for this operation (as of 10.13 beta 2): My search tool unsuccessfully attempts to use FSCatalogSearch on APFS volumes because it's being told by the API that the APFS volume supports that operation. Which it doesn't do, though, as my app then gets no results from the search. I haven't been able to look deeper into this yet, I get this from customer reports that all have the same problem now after installing High Sierra and upgrading to APFS. So, could it be that the volume flags are incorrectly set, indicating that the file system supports CatalogSearch even though it doesn't? (I'm just throwing this in as early as possible, but I'll make sure to file a bug report should my suspicion be confirmed). -- Thomas Tempelmann, http://www.tempel.org/ Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tempelorg Read my programming blog: http://blog.tempel.org/
