Pod::Index::Search \- Search for keywords in an indexed pod

.Vb 1
\&    use Pod::Index::Search;
\&
\&    my $q = Pod::Index::Search\->new;
\&
\&    my @results = $q\->search(\*(Aqgetprotobyname\*(Aq);

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module searches an index created by Pod::Index::Builder. Search results
are returned as Pod::Index::Entry objects.
.PP
It is also possible to search for subtopics for a keyword. For example, a
search for \*(L"operator\*(R" might return things like
.PP
.Vb 5
\&    operator, conditional
\&    operator, filetest
\&    operator, logical
\&    operator, precedence
\&    operator, relational
.Ve
.PP
The subtopics returned are simple strings.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.IP "new" 4
.IX Item "new"
.Vb 1
\&    my $q = Pod::Index::Search\->new(%args);
.Ve
.Sp
Create a new search object. Possible arguments are:
.RS 4
.ie n .IP """fh""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWfh\fR" 4
.IX Item "fh"
The filehandle of the index to use. If omitted, \f(CW\*(C`perlindex::DATA\*(C'\fR is used.
.ie n .IP """filename""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWfilename\fR" 4
.IX Item "filename"
The filename of the index to use. Note that you can specify either \f(CW\*(C`fh\*(C'\fR or
filename, but not both.
.ie n .IP """filemap""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWfilemap\fR" 4
.IX Item "filemap"
A subroutine reference that takes a podname and returns a filename. A simple
example might be:
.Sp
.Vb 4
\&    sub {
\&        my $podname = shift;
\&        return "/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/pod/$podname.pod";
\&    }
.Ve
.Sp
The podname is in colon-delimited Perl package syntax.
.Sp
The default \f(CW\*(C`filemap\*(C'\fR returns the first file in \f(CW@INC\fR that seems to have the 
proper documentation (either a .pod or .pm file).
.ie n .IP """nocase""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWnocase\fR" 4
.IX Item "nocase"
If true, the search will be case-insensitive.
.RE
.RS 4
.RE
.IP "search($keyword)" 4
.IX Item "search($keyword)"
Do the actual search in the index.  Returns a list of search results, as
Pod::Index::Entry objects.
.ie n .IP "subtopics($keyword, %options)" 4
.el .IP "subtopics($keyword, \f(CW%options\fR)" 4
.IX Item "subtopics($keyword, %options)"
.Vb 2
\&    my @topics = $q\->subtopics(\*(Aqoperator\*(Aq);
\&    my @topics = $q\->subtopics(\*(Aqoperator\*(Aq, deep => 1);
.Ve
.Sp
Lists the subtopics for a given keyword. If \f(CW\*(C`deep\*(C'\fR is given, it includes
all subtopics; otherwise, only the first level of subtopics is included.
