Does Lithium include search functionality as part of its API?

On some forums, I have noticed that you can go to the page "/forums/searchpage/tab/messages/" and I would like to know if this is accessible via the API.

Hi Bitbrit,

Indeed, it is possible to search for both messages and users via the REST API. The REST API search method accepts the same arguments and parameters as the search in the UI, so the capabilities are essentially the same. Here's a simple example for your reference:
