Why would one want to search the content of Stickies notes: "Mum coming 
for coffee this afternoon"?

Hmmm.  I wonder how many engineers are working at Apple assigned to 
doing find-by-content
for Livecode stacks, when, face-the-facts, Livecode does not, yet, enjoy 
the "reach" that many other
progging environments do.

Surely Apple's priorities, like most other people, are with the things 
that loom large on their horizon.
Until Livecode looms large, it will be pushed aside by bigger fish.
