<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello all,<br><br>I've got MacPorts running nicely on a Mac which is running OS X 10.9 Mavericks with Server App 3 (hence "Mac OS X Server"). One of the things my colleagues are quite enjoying on their MacBooks with OS X 10.9 is Mavericks Finder improvements for tagging files and folders. The tagging (add of file metadata) works quite nicely when, for example, a file share volume or folder is mounted from the server to the MacBook laptops via AFP. Hence, one can tag files residing on a file share quite readily, and then its quite nice to search metadata such as key words on the shared (AFP) volumes from the same MacBook laptops. <br>
<br></div><div>My colleagues are starting to get "spoiled" by this and several of them have iPads as well. They want to use their iPads to search Spotlight indexed file system metadata from their iPads. Ideally this could be done with some sort of web user interface in Safari, although there may be some dedicated standalone iOS apps which could do this as well but so far I have not seen any standalone file browsing iOS apps that support searching against Spotlight's indexes on shared volumes on the server. <br>
<br></div><div>So my question is, are there any MacPorts that might be useful for, say, the ability to search server volumes via a web interface (perhaps an Apache module)? I'm still looking around but I haven't found much and I'm kind of surprised because it strikes me as a very useful feature. <br>
<br></div><div>Thanks for any suggestions. <br><br></div><div>-Tabitha<br><br></div></div>
