There is no standardized searching/indexing interface in Slide yet.

At the time of this writing, we plan on having a standardized Searching and Indexing interface in the same spirit as other (Lock, Security, ...) helper functions.

Using the same design pattern (high-level interface, low-level service), we hope to provide administrators the ability to choose appropriate back-end technology for indexing & searching. We plan on supporting systems where structure and content might already be stored in a database which supports searching (SQL database, LDAP directory, ...), or in other cases where data might be stored in a storage server (ie. file system) which doesn't have any query capabilities and where an additional technology might be needed to provide such querying service.

Feel free to discuss about the design of this module on the slide-dev mailing list.
