[TYPO3-commerce] article search in FE

We don't have such a feature in the SVN right now.

We do have objects for the complete output, but if you do want to 
implemet a search, you may will to go to the database. If you want to 
use the methods, you'll have to instantiate to much objects, and this 
would slow down your machine.

But if you have resolved successfully the articles and products, you 
want to render for the output, you'll should use the objects, to have an 
easy rendering.. Here you might have a look at the pibase and the method
renderProductsForList which renders a product list of a given list of 
product uids.
