The search function should return very quickly (ore pretty close to that
anyway). It's only when you start iterating through the results that
there's a lot of time being spent in the library functions.

This functionality of the command-line tool is implemented with the same
library functions you would call. So you should get exactly the same
behavior that you want by calling the library directly.

Please let us know if that's not the case.
