The SKOS Core API has been added with a convenience method getConceptResultsByKeyword which takes a search word as a parameter. This method has been added to speed up search results that are returned from the web service. It returns a list of ConceptReults object which is an encapsultaion of a concept and it's associated concepts (eg. broader, narrower, etc..).
