Hi,
You may be interested in a working paper from Apple, "Working with
Spotlight". Spotlight is a fully integrated, fast and efficient search
engine (with API) capable of searching and indexing various file types.
The article explains the development technologies behind Spotlight and
you can integrate it for external applications, e.g. developing web
services interface to it. See:
http://developer.apple.com/macosx/tiger/spotlight.html .
Best wishes,
Boon
