NAME

     mdfind -- finds files matching a given query

SYNOPSIS

     mdfind [-live] [-count] [-onlyin directory] [-name fileName] query

DESCRIPTION

     The mdfind command consults the central metadata store and returns a list of files that match the given metadata query. The query can be a
     string or a query expression.

     The following options are available:

     -0 	 Prints an ASCII NUL character after each result path.	This is useful when used in conjunction with xargs -0.

     -live	 Causes the mdfind command to provide live-updates to the number of files matching the query.  When an update causes the query
		 results to change the number of matches is updated.  The find can be cancelled by typing ctrl-C.

     -count	 Causes the mdfind command to output the total number of matches, instead of the path to the matching items.

     -onlyin dir
		 Limit the scope of the search to the directory specified.

     -name fileName
		 Searches for matching file names only.

     -literal	 Force the provided query string to be taken as a literal query string, without interpretation.

     -interpret  Force the provided query string to be interpreted as if the user had typed the string into the Spotlight menu.  For example, the
		 string "search" would produce the following query string:
		       (* = search* cdw || kMDItemTextContent = search* cdw)

EXAMPLES

     The following examples are shown as given to the shell.

     This returns all files with any metadata attribute value matching the string "image":

	   mdfind image

     This returns all files that contain "MyFavoriteAuthor" in the kMDItemAuthor metadata attribute:

	   mdfind "kMDItemAuthors == '*MyFavoriteAuthor*'"

     This returns all files with any metadata attribute value matching the string "skateboard".  The find continues to run after gathering the
     initial results, providing a count of the number of files that match the query.

	   mdfind -live skateboard

     To get a list of the available attributes for use in constructing queries, see mdimport(1), particularly the -X switch.

yaz_hits - Returns number of hits for last search

SYNOPSIS

       int yaz_hits (resource  $id, [array  &$searchresult])

DESCRIPTION

       yaz_hits(3) returns the number of hits for the last search.

PARAMETERS

	      o $id
		- The connection resource returned by yaz_connect(3).

	      o $searchresult
		- Result array for detailed search result information.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns the number of hits for the last search or 0 if no search was performed.

	The  search result array (if supplied) holds information that is returned by a Z39.50 server in the SearchResult-1 format part of a search
       response. The SearchResult-1 format can be used to obtain information about hit counts for various parts of the query (subquery).  In  par-
       ticular,  it  is  possible to obtain hit counts for the individual search terms in a query. Information for first subquery is in $array[0],
       second subquery in $array[1], and so forth.
