Search file content on iphone

Is there an Iphone SDK API to search resource files?

I have a set of html file resources that I'd like the user to be able to search in, but I want to avoid reading the files into memory and searching them one by one.

Is there any API that can help me do this?

I would suggest you using SQLite FTS3 extension for full text search through your documents. It has quite good capabilities for it. But you will need to strip HTML tags first so it can index only your text and don't bother with tags

No, you'll have to read the files in to search them. There's nothing like "Spotlight" on the phone.
