[MonoTouch] In-app search

[jhandel at gmail.com]

This was my final answer.. I did a custom build of Sqlite3 with FTS4 enabled.. Its not as good as running a mini Lucene but it only took 4 hours to get all the moving parts working in the right direction instead of the who knows how long to get LuceneKit running in an iPhone and then wrapped.

Why not use SQL Lite?
Store content in DB...
