Start by locating the current search public API implementation and its global functions in the Nextcloud server repository, then review the proposed @nextcloud/search project. Resolve the callback naming confusion using the linked pull request discussion and consult documentation issue 11544. Done means the API implementation uses the search library and the outstanding naming and documentation questions are resolved.
