Adding search to your module

Introduction
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Adding search to your mod is really simple. All that is required is
usage of the Key class. If your module isn't using Key, then you will
need to build in your own search capabilities.
The search object
-------------------------------------------------------------------
To begin, you need to create a search object:
$search = & new Search($key_id);
The key_id variable is the id to the key indexed to your content item.
Next you need to filter some content through the search object. The
search object will attempt to filter out search keywords.
$search->addKeywords($content);
You could also add your element's title, location, address, etc. just
by calling addKeywords again:
$search->addKeywords($title);
Once you are finished filtering keywords, just save the search object.
$search->save();
The result of the save function will either be true or an error
object.
