Ask 100 developers and you'll get 100 different costs.  You'll get
farther if you say what you're willing to pay, and what you're expecting
to get for your money.

I'm told (by a competent developer who doesn't have time for it right now) that
it's a few lines of code in C or Objective C - Apple has provided a framework
for it. What I'm expecting to get is a file the user can put in the right
directory, that causes files of a certain type to be indexed. That's as much as
I know about it. I don't know what such a project would or should cost, so was
asking for estimates.

i don't know if this is a help for you or not, but here's my impression: by
saying that, you just lost me.  i would certainly never bid on a project
that was described like that.  some *other* programmer says it should be
"only a few lines," so now *i've* got to live by that, even though this
other programmer wasn't willing to write those "only a few lines,"
suspiciously enough?  no thanks.

this smells to me like something that you want to pay next to nothing for,
that will be a whole lot more work than this supposedly competent programmer
said it would.
