Search Variables
- category, location, group, actor, not_category, not_location, not_group, not_actor: List of comma separated ids
- orientation, race, hair, tits, pubic, body, setid, not_orientation, not_race, not_hair, not_tits, not_pubic, not_body: List of comma separated names

Description
This function is used to trigger a search through the content available. You can choose if it searches only for content currently active on the current site, any content in CARMA or something in between those two. You can choose to hard code the search query to use or to let the surfer make their own search.
Notes
The following options are valid arguments to the search_type parameter.
- combined: use both settings in input variables and settings from the search[] query string variable.
- func: use only settings in the input variables.
- default: if neither of the two search_types above are specified CARMA will use the search[] query string variable if found, if not it will use any input variables it can find.
Examples
Example 1
If you list_videos template and wanted to also show a photo set that had the same set id, you could use carma search this way inside the {foreach} ... {/foreach} statements:
{carma_search setid=$entry.setid content_type='gal' data_only=1}
Now you can use the variable $carma_search_results to output your photo set.
Example 2
You can also use carma_search to allow users to search for specific content. Below is a very basic dynamic search form using both carma_search and carma_list. This example can be expanded to use any combination of the above search options.
{assign var="count" value=20}
{if $smarty.request.start }
{assign var="start" value=$smarty.request.start}
{else}
{assign var="start" value=0}
{/if}
{math assign="previous" equation="x - y" x=$start y=$count}
{math assign="next" equation="x + y" x=$start y=$count}
{carma_list siteid=$siteid count=500 list="actors" order="name ASC"}
