As other people have said, there's no bug with the "newSearch" flag.
However, the problem you're seeing may be related to something else which
changed in that API for 3.1.
Based on your symptoms, probably you've set the "onlyLatestVers" parameter,
saying that you want to only get the latest version of the database which
matches your search criteria. In 3.0 and earlier, setting this flag while
providing both a type and creator id could return you multiple databases
(if there were in fact multiple with that type/creator combination). In
3.1, you'll only get one database which has the given type and creator...
it'll be the database with the highest version number which matches the
criteria.
It is debatable, and has been debated, whether or not this is a bug or
fixed functionality. Be that as it may, most likely you want to turn off
the "onlyLatestVers" parameter and then you'll get the results you want.
