Search service

I've developed an additional service to implement Drupal content searching. This service provides one method, search.searchData, which uses Drupal's hook_search (and is closely based on the Drupal API command search_data).

The service accepts up to three arguments:

1. search_keys: the keywords for the search
2. type (optional): the type of data to search (i.e. 'node', 'user')
3. simple (optional): if set, the search returns only the main fields (link, type, title, user, date, snippet) and removes any additional data

You can see a demonstration of this on my site at:

I'd like to see this eventually included with the Services module. For now, I've packaged it as a stand-alone add-on for Services. You can download it from:
http://arithmetric.com/files/search_service-20080207.tar.gz

Install it by uncompressing the archive in your modules/services/services directory (the location of node_service, user_service, etc.) and enabling the Search Service module.
