/**
 * Define a custom search type.
 *
 * This hook allows a module to tell search.module that it wishes to perform
 * searches on content it defines (custom node types, users, or comments for
 * example) when a site search is performed.
 *
 * In order for the search to do anything, your module must also implement
 * hook_search_execute(), which is called when someone requests a search
 * on your module's type of content. If you want to have your content
 * indexed in the standard search index, your module should also implement
 * hook_update_index(). If your search type has settings, you can implement
 * hook_search_admin() to add them to the search settings page. You can use
 * hook_form_FORM_ID_alter(), with FORM_ID set to 'search_form', to add fields
 * to the search form (see node_form_search_form_alter() for an example).
 * You can use hook_search_access() to limit access to searching,
 * and hook_search_page() to override how search results are displayed.
 *
 * @return
 *   Array with optional keys:
 *   - title: Title for the tab on the search page for this module. Title must
 *     be untranslated. Outside of this return array, pass the title through the
 *     t() function to register it as a translatable string.
 *   - path: Path component after 'search/' for searching with this module.
 *     Defaults to the module name if not given.
 *   - conditions_callback: An implementation of callback_search_conditions().

/**
 * Execute a search for a set of key words.
 *
 * Use database API with the 'PagerDefault' query extension to perform your

 *
 * If your module uses hook_update_index() and search_index() to index its
 * items, use table 'search_index' aliased to 'i' as the main table in your
 * query, with the 'SearchQuery' extension. You can join to your module's table
 * using the 'i.sid' field, which will contain the $sid values you provided to
 * search_index(). Add the main keywords to the query by using method
 * searchExpression(). The functions search_expression_extract() and
 * search_expression_insert() may also be helpful for adding custom search
 * parameters to the search expression.
 *
 * See node_search_execute() for an example of a module that uses the search
 * index, and user_search_execute() for an example that doesn't use the search
 * index.
 *
 * @param $keys
 *   The search keywords as entered by the user.
 * @param $conditions
 *   An optional array of additional conditions, such as filters.
 *
 * @return
 *   An array of search results. To use the default search result
 *   display, each item should have the following keys':
 *   - 'link': Required. The URL of the found item.
 *   - 'type': The type of item (such as the content type).
 *   - 'title': Required. The name of the item.
 *   - 'user': The author of the item.
 *   - 'date': A timestamp when the item was last modified.
 *   - 'extra': An array of optional extra information items.
 *   - 'snippet': An excerpt or preview to show with the result (can be
 *     generated with search_excerpt()).
 *   - 'language': Language code for the item (usually two characters).

 * (admin/config/search/settings). It allows your module to add items to the

 * own indexing mechanism.
 *
 * When implementing this hook, your module should index content items that
 * were modified or added since the last run. PHP has a time limit
 * for cron, though, so it is advisable to limit how many items you index
 * per run using variable_get('search_cron_limit') (see example below). Also,
