Thanks. Does the Search field take soem time to get the right results because 
it's Google powered?

I'm not using the MBS stuff for this, I'm asking the question sort of in 
parallel. I call it in my C++ dylib. I was just getting an unusual amount of 
crash logs from clients where I would call FSCatalogSearch with undoubtedly 
uncrashable parameters and the crash log would should the crash occurring 
within FSCatalogSearch itself. It gave rise to the suspicion that perhaps 
FSCatalogSearch is deprecated in 10.9. I understand that many disk-type 
functions are deprecated - I know of one that affects REAL/Xojo significantly. 
You can't use either FolderItem.Parent or FolderItem.Child (forgot which) when 
working on a MacOS Standard type of disk. It's an error that Apple hasn't fixed 
yet, has been around since 10.9 got released. They may not fix it, since what 
REAL/Xojo still uses is deprecated.

Anyway, I just checked - FSCatalogSearch IS deprecated. If it doesn't work in 
certain circumstance, Apple can say "so what". it was deprecated in 10.8 even. 
You are supposed to use the Spotlight API now. All the FS[x] things are 
deprecated, no more FSRefs, just NSURL. (This was the issue with REAL/Xojo's 
issue above, they are still using FSRefs.
