Assuming that your requirements are to search only the package name and
description as has been described previously, the short answer is is
that you cannot express the queries you want in search v0. That's why
we're making search v1. However, via post processing you can probably
get what you want from search v0 if you parse the output and look for
actions matching 'set fmri' or 'set description' might get you what you
want.
Also, if you want to expose any of the advanced search interfaces in an
advanced search window, which I certainly hope you will, those will, by
definition, require search v1.

Thanks for the clarification Brock, can you and Padraig touch base to
see if we can express our search requirements in search_0 terms and if
not, what will happen, can we degrade gracefully?

Brock - can you clarify for us, we are aiming to put the "Search
across repos" into 2009.06, but if all depot servers need to be
updated to support the new Search API is this realistic? Will we
have a feature that won't work against the repos out there or will
they all be updated in time for 2009.06?
I believe the depos we control, release/dev/pending/contrib well be
updated to run search v1. Other than that, I can't make promises. I
can't control when, for example, Blastwave chooses to update their
depot servers. If you want to use search v1, yes, you need to rely on
servers running search v1. I'll send out a webrev later today which
has some updates so that if you're doing a single search, and if the
search could be expressed in search_0 terms. Ie, there are no field,
boolean, or phrase queries or pkg conversions etc it will fall back
to search_0.

should work with search to a remote depot serving search/1."
