 * Greetings,
    I am new to wordpress and the task I am facing is querying our current
   company blog which is in wordpress, for a search term and displaying results 
   on the website.
 * I was wandering if wordpress provides some kind of API through which I can call
   search and get a set of results (like in XML).
 * I will be calling this from python/django if that is of any relevance.
 * Please help as I never done PHP and I am scared!

 * Hi,
 *  As far as I know, there is not Search API for WordPress. But since it’s your
   company blog, there shouldn’t be any problem to screenscrape the search results.
 * Just use something like BeautifulSoup to parse the HTML. This shouldn’t be difficult.
