Searching Salesforce Objects

I'd like to write a custom UI to search for Solutions.  Is the Search functionality exposed in the API so Solutions (or any object) can be searched using the same algorithms as if they were searching on the Salesforce site?

An alternative would be to use the Query functionality of the API to query the title and description to search for the keywords myself. Obviously it would be much easier to use the Salesforce Search functionality directly.

Is the Search functionality exposed and if not do you have advice on how to do an effective search using the API?

Thanks,

-Clint

Hi ClintP,

Search is not available in the current version.  It is available in the previous version of the SOAP api.  The API 2.0 documentation is included.

Cheers
