I was checking out the charmworld api docs and per the search interface:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~juju-jitsu/charmworld/trunk/view/head:/docs/api.rst#L256

We could easily test this by suppling the search term we want to check on
summary and description. We need to check if those will work as an OR or as
an AND. I'm curious if the 'readme' is the best thing to index or if we've
got the things we're really caring about in summary/description.

For instance, with the juju-gui charm we'd be able to match searches such
as 'juju web interface'.
