query Text to search for. Returns a list of results with the specified text in the title, description, or content. Encode the strings. By default, spaces are treated as an AND operator. The following operators are supported:

AND or &&: Searches for items that contain both words. For example: query=red%20AND%20test returns items that contain both the word red and the word test. AND is the default operator.
NOT or !: Excludes the word that follows the operator from the search. For example: query=test%20NOT%20red returns items that contain the word test, but not the word red.
OR: Searches for items that contain either of the words. For example: query=test%20OR%20red
To search for a phrase, enclose the phrase in quotation marks (" ").
+: The plus sign indicates that the word must be present in the result. For example: query=+test%20red returns only items that contain the word test and many that also contain red, but none that contain only the word red.
?: Use a question mark to match individual characters. For example: query=te%3Ft returns items that contain the words test, text, tent, and others that begin with te.
-: The dash prohibits the return of a given word. This operator is similar to NOT. For example: query=test%20-red returns items that contains the word test, but not the word red.

tag Tag to search for. Returns a list of results with the specified tag. You can use this parameter multiple times to search for content that is tagged with all of the tag terms.
userid Limits the results to only those items associated with the person who has the specified user ID. This parameter overwrites the email parameter if both are specified.
