    If I remember correctly, you can store the lyrics of a song in its ID3 tag.. and itunes searches in that. So, the feature is already exploitable...

    Oh, also, the search feature might use a database file system.. which would still be HFS+...



    Remember, they've built-in a plugin architecture that was used in the past to add journaling compatibility... I wonder if it would be fast and practical to use HFS+ though.

    According to this guy, Dominic Giampaolo was giving the developer presentation on Spotlight, so I think that bodes well for a "real" metadata system with Spotlight.



    I assume open and save dialogs will incporporate this too?

    Dominic Giampaolo is staying close to the fs. That's great news. I think Tiger's metadata is just leading the way towards a new fs in 10.5. I would have loved to see DG's demo. Steve's wan't bad in its own right. DG probably gave a much more technical demo.
