It does support search through SQL like queries. You can use existing functions or implement new ones in Javascript. If you want free text search, you would be disappointed, but otherwise it is pretty decent.
If free text search is such a hard problem then you'd think that would be even more reason to start with solving that toughest of all problems. If it's a really hard problem then it will be even harder to retrofit later into some system that is already architected and built.
A light spanking for the architect. No search would have been a thorough spanking.
Nothing you say will convince me that it's just a super easy dance in the daisies to "just do X" or "just do Y" and suddenly its database search heaven.
Database application architects need to wise up that the world revolves around search - built in, not add on.
