Yeah, afair the problem with Apples Spotlight RPC protocol is that it
has no way returning results in chunks and tell the client to come
back immediately for more results.

Apples Spotlight RPC server simply puts *all* *available* (this
depends on how many results the first async query returned) results in
one RPC packet (up to some limit imposed by SMB/RPC).

In any case, the client will poll every second for more results.

Joe, I think we chatted before, but did I already mentioned that you
should consider switching to Samba because the Spotlight RPC server
code there has seen a large overhaul compared to Netatalk?

Cheerio!
