MDQueryMBS.kMDQuerySynchronous=1

Type Topic Plugin Version
const Spotlight MBS MacOSX Plugin 9.6
One of the constants for executing a query.

Block during the gathering phase. If this parameter is true, the function will not return until the query has finished gathering the initial results. The run loop will run in the default mode, which will allow anything registered in that mode with this run loop to execute as well. If this parameter is false, the function returns immediately after starting the query asychronously.

MDQueryMBS.kMDQueryWantsUpdates=4

Type Topic Plugin Version
const Spotlight MBS MacOSX Plugin 9.6
One of the constants for executing a query.

When set, after gathering the initial results the query will watch for changes in the system which should update the list of results. This can be changes which cause new files to now match the query, or changes which cause files in the result list to continue to match, or no longer match, the query. Files which begin to match the query are added to the result list, and files which no longer match the query expression are removed from the result list.
Currently, this parameter is ignored if the synchronous parameter is true. This is subject to change, and you should always pass in the value you want here.
