Can you point us to where you are reading about search-wcm?

The APIs to use to search/query AEM are QueryBuilder API, JCR-SQL/2 or JQOM.

QUeryBuilder API here:

JQOM:

Here is a discussion of using JCR API to query data using JCR SQL:

These are the main APIs to query JCR Data

Hi,There is no use case per say.I am teaching various concepts of AEM to my colleagues and wanted to cover Search as a part of it.Thanks,Rama.
