=head1 NAME

Class::DBI::Search::Basic - Simple Class::DBI search

=head1 SYNOPSIS

	my $searcher = Class::DBI::Search::Basic->new(
		$cdbi_class, @search_args
	);

	my @results = $searcher->run_search;

	# Over in your Class::DBI subclass:
	
	__PACKAGE__->add_searcher(
		search  => "Class::DBI::Search::Basic",
	  isearch => "Class::DBI::Search::Plugin::CaseInsensitive",
	);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is the start of a pluggable Search infrastructure for Class::DBI.

At the minute Class::DBI::Search::Basic doubles up as both the default
search within Class::DBI as well as the search base class. We will
probably need to tease this apart more later and create an abstract base
class for search plugins.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new 

	my $searcher = Class::DBI::Search::Basic->new(
		$cdbi_class, @search_args
	);

A Searcher is created with the class to which the results will belong,
and the arguments passed to the search call by the user.

=head2 opt 

	if (my $order = $self->opt('order_by')) { ... }

The arguments passed to search may contain an options hash. This will
return the value of a given option.

=head2 run_search

	my @results = $searcher->run_search;
	my $iterator = $searcher->run_search;

Actually run the search.

=head1 SUBCLASSING

=head2 sql / bind / fragment

The actual mechanics of generating the SQL and executing it split up
into a variety of methods for you to override.

run_search() is implemented as:

  return $cdbi->sth_to_objects($self->sql, $self->bind);

Where sql() is 

  $cdbi->sql_Retrieve($self->fragment);


There are also a variety of private methods underneath this that could
be overriden in a pinch, but if you need to do this I'd rather you let
me know so that I can make them public, or at least so that I don't
remove them from under your feet.
