Hi Simon, the search provider uses the same mechanism/calls as the web application. Assuming that the search functionality is working as expected on the web site (jspui/xmlui), e.g. that the search index is previously initialized and periodically updated, I would suspect on version mismatch.
It happened on some instances that the website is using one version of DSpace, which prepares search index. Afterwards, the REST module is installed which is relying on other version of DSpace, and it's not able therefore to read the search index. This (or some other) error should be usually reported and present in Tomcat log. So I would ask you if you could take a look at the Tomcat log and send me related error lines.. and also if you could briefly describe your local installation, e.g. working environment, version, do you use newest REST API from the svn and so. Other questions you posted to me I will answer separately.
