We have a beta RESTful search API in 4.0 but it should be finalized.

It returns JSON. Here's an example: http://dataverse-demo.iq.harvard.edu/api/search?q=tabulardata

It's also used in these integration tests: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/tree/master/scripts/search/tests

Requirements:

• use API keys: add primefaces datatable for users #3614 #3874
• enforce SSL (always?)
• provide a link for each item returned (file link will be for parent dataset)
• sorting
• start/offset (limit number returned?)

Questions:

• have showrelevance boolean?
