Some DekiScript templates used a method named wiki.search(). In order to convert these templates, it needs to be available in KumaScript as well.

Some templates that use this:

This would almost certainly be useful for the zone system, to provide support for macros that build content related to that zone, so adding it as a blocker for zones.

I think this is now possible using the new advanced search described here:

I haven't tested it for myself, but it looks like there is a json output available, which we could use in KumaScript macros to generate a "See also" link list for example.

I think this is no more needed. The Advanced Search feature allows us to do that.
