+ =head2 search($query)
+ The search method supports a range of search algorithms.  It is
+ recommended to tune the index by calling
+ C<$table-E<gt>set(top=E<gt>1)> B<after> bulk inserting the documents
+ into the table.  This is a computing intense operation and all inserts
+ and deletes after this optimization are slightly more expensive.  Once
+ reorganized, the index is kept sorted automatically until you switch
+ the optimization off by calling C<$table-E<gt>set(top=E<gt>0)>.
+ When searching a tuned index, a query can be processed faster if the
+ caller requests only the topmost documents.  This can be done by
+ passing a C<top =E<gt>> I<n> parameter to the search method.
+ For single term queries, the method returns only the I<n> top ranking
+ documents.  For multi term queries two optimized algorithms are
+ available. The first algorithm computes the top n documents
+ approximately but very fast, sacrificing a little bit of precision for
+ speed.  The second algorithm computes the topmost I<n> documents
+ precisely.  This algorithm is slower and should be used only for small
+ values of I<n>.  It can be requested by passing the query attribute
+ C<picky =E<gt> 1>. Both algorithms may return more than I<n> hits.
+ While the picky version might not be faster than the brute force
+ version on average for modest size databases it uses less memory and
+ the processing time is almost linear in the number of query terms, not
+ in the size of the lists.
