Searching only requires:
search_process -> gives you an id to retrieve search results
search_showresults -> returns the results for given id

Parameters for search process are mostly the same as they are used in advanced search in usercp:
For example:
query = 'find*me' // search query
forumchoice = '1,2,3,4' // only in listet forums
childforums = 1 // also search in child forums
titleonly = 0 // searches only in titles
contenttypeid = 1 // searches only in posts (not blogs, groups, etc)
Have a closer look to search.php

Major parameters for search_showresult are: page, perpage and searchid
