Both search on the frontend and in admin can be achieved using the LINQ API, which gives you SQL like data querying capabilities. However, product search in Admin is slated for the next release codenamed "the gap".
To be clear: Some sort of Lucene search based API is something that we'd very much like to do in the frontend (and backend for that matter). It might be based on Examine - still haven't had a chance to investigate that.
The priority though is to add search capabilities to admin first.
Good, my wish was mainly for backend anyway so good to hear it's coming up. When I look customer working I can clearly see she wants a tool where she can simply write SKU or product name and after that with one click she would be editing product.
Wish: Searching products in backend
Customer was asking if they could access products by typing SKU in Umbraco Search. It looks like its not working now.
It would be nice if editor could use normal backend search enviroment (Examine) for searching products like they search CMS content.
Also, I would like to see Examine on frontend search as well.
