Search function not working on ODK Central

That's wonderful, @saif2khan! It's always great to hear how the tools are used so please consider sharing what you're working on in the Showcase! There are several Indian developers who contribute to the project and I bet they'd be particularly excited to learn about how their government uses the tools.

To answer @Matthew_White's questions regarding next steps -- while search() is fairly widely used (see External data - current state of affairs - #8 by yanokwa for stats), I think letting users know to include a dummy pulldata call is a fine approach now that I've thought more about it. In fact, the two often work hand-in-hand so it will be very common for a form that uses search() to need pulldata for something as well. Let's do nothing for now and consider adding a warning on form upload in Central if a lot of people run into the issue.
