[Developers] searching

[Faye Li]

Hi Christopher,

Search doesn't look up property values of a topic yet. It examines the 
topic title, alias, article, and various data from Wikipedia if it has 
any. So if you add Avril Lavigne to the list of artists played in the 
description for Alice at 97.3, then you'll be able to find the station. Amy 
Winehouse, for example, is in the description, so the following search 
works:
