From Mads Nissen ...

I've been working with a technical customer lately and they wanted me to demonstrate what they could do with the Sharepoint Search engine. I explained that you could easily consume the portal search service just as any other web service (as Bil describes nicely here) and make customized searches.

They wanted me to make a demo as a proof-of-concept so I created a portal area on their test server and added what they needed to experiment for themselves in addition to a small sample. The cool thing about this is that you really can experiment with the SharepointPSSearch SQL Syntax right in the browser.
