| - In general, the {{search}} operation requires access to all semantic annotations to find matching resources. For example, consider a search expression {{A and B}}, i.e., a resource must contribute to both concept {{A}} and concept {{B}}. To find appropriate matches for this search term, the algorithm must look for annotations that explicitly state {{A and B}} as well as those that state only {{A}} and only {{B}} (which taken together make {{A and B}}). Note that an annotation that states only {{A}} may be in one repository, while an annotation that states only {{B}} may be in another. Thus, for remote searches, the {{search}} algorithm must obtain and consider all remote annotations to find matching resources, making the {{search}} operation inherently centralized. |

| + The arguments for this service are: |
| + # A resource whose semantic types are to be checked; |
| + # A concept expression; and |
| + # A flag denoting whether local or remote repositories are searched |
| + |
| + The service returns true if the resource has a semantic type matching the concept expression. Note that given a set of resources {{R}} returned by the {{search}} service for a concept expression {{c}} and remote flag value {{m}} (either true or false), for each {{r}} in {{R}}, {{match(r, c, m)}} is true. That is, {{r}} is a {{match}} for search {{c}}. |

| + The {{match}} service is included primarily to support browsing of ontologies. |
