An example of a basic SpokenData search API call can be:
http://spokendata.com/api/18/br3sp59a2it7fig94jdtbt3p9ife5qpx39fd8npp/search?q=student
It simply means to search for occurrences of student in all recording transcriptions of the DEMO account.
The returned XML shows the elapsed time for parsing the search query and for performing the search. As the number of results can be very high, the search API call supports paging. By default, the maximum number of results per page is set to 10. In the output XML, there are 2 types of results - recordings and captions. Each has different paging.
