I've talked to a Sinequa consultant for integration of XWiki with the Sinequa indexer using the REST api.
A few things where missing:

XML export using REST (this is actually way important also for exports and stuff. We need all XML exports that we have in the XWiki api, with versions, without, with attachments, without etc..)
All modified pages accross wikis in a XEM
List of deleted pages
or more generally an exposition of the activity stream
HTML rendered version
Some easier way to access the rights information of a page/space/wiki
(the XML version of a page allows it but a more specific rights subsystem could be usefull)
Same thing for user and groups

This is probably true for any search engine. It was possible to use other XWiki URLs to access the missing information but having it in REST would be better.

Side topic: I'll get some feedback tomorrow from an XWiki users and how
they're using the REST API to expose XWiki data in a portal.

Here's some of the feedback I got:

    - When retrieving the content of a page from REST, we get source content
    (wiki syntax) ->  il would be nice to be able to get HTML-rendered content
    too
    - We'd need to provide some high-level services from REST ->  for instance
    a REST resource that sends back the whole arborescence of the wiki (right
    now you have to retrieve every space, then every page of every space one by
    one)

Hi everybody,

I was wondering in which XWiki subsystems the REST API is used in a direct
way.
I know that it is used in different place but I don't have a clear vision.

Could you please tell me where are you using it?

Thanks,
Fabio
