- * Do a query on the full-text search index for a word or words.

- * This function is normally only called by each module that support the

- *
- * Results are retrieved in two logical passes. However, the two passes are
- * joined together into a single query. And in the case of most simple
- * queries the second pass is not even used.
- *
- * The first pass selects a set of all possible matches, which has the benefit
- * of also providing the exact result set for simple "AND" or "OR" searches.
- *
- * The second portion of the query further refines this set by verifying
- * advanced text conditions (such negative or phrase matches)
- *
- * @param $keywords
- *   A search string as entered by the user.
- *
- * @param $type
- *   A string identifying the calling module.
- *
- * @param $join1

- *   For example "INNER JOIN {node} n ON n.nid = i.sid".
- *
- * @param $where1
- *   (optional) Inserted into the WHERE part of the first SQL query.
- *   For example "(n.status > %d)".
- *
- * @param $arguments1
- *   (optional) Extra SQL arguments belonging to the first query.

- * @param $columns2

- *   (optional) Extra SQL arguments belonging to the second query parameter.
