SEARCH is a) a framework based on a new HTTP method and some generic marshalling considerations, *and* b) a specific search grammar that is optimized for WebDAV stores. Re. your question: Microsoft implementa an early version of DASL minus DAV:basicsearch + DAV:sql (which is a Microsoft-proprietary SQL based query syntax). I think this is shipping with Sharepoint and Exchange. Others (Tamino/Slide?) are experimenting with using XPath as search grammar.
