Can an iPhone OS app search the device's file system?

Can I search iPhone file system from within the app? I need to find an iPhone OS device and return a list of all applications installed on the iPhone OS device. I am reasonably aware of Apple's restrictions and policies on what applications can and in most cases cannot do outside of a sandboxed program - and be aware that apart from the photo album, the address book (via certain classes) the application does not have permission to access anything. outside of its home directory (sandboxed) for security. But the boundaries are fuzzy.

Anyway, back to the question: can UISearchBarDelegate (or any other class / protocol) allow me to search for an iPhone device?

Unfortunately, you are still isolated, the only way to access the filesystem of the devices is to create an application designed to create a jailbreak.

Not strictly true - the FileSystem app, for example, lets you view the iOS file structure and view many (though not all) files. However, you can access all files from an iTunes backup.
