[Pyobjc-dev] NSPredicate question

[st c. <stc...@gm...>]

How do I translate the following query

'(* = "term*"wcd || kMDItemTextContent = "term*"cd)'

into an NSPredicate?

I'm trying:

(anykey like[wcd] 'term*') or (kMDItemTextContent like[cd] 'term*')

but it's not doing anything beyond:

(kMDItemTextContent like[cd] 'term*')

The problem is that

kMDItemTextContent = "term*"cd

does not seem to find everything, but

'(* = "term*"wcd || kMDItemTextContent = "term*"cd)'

does.

I'd prefer to use my existing pyobjc cocoa spotlight code, rather than
writing an extension to use MDQueryCreate (unless one already exists
somewhere?)

Thanks,

Sengan
