Hi Craig, with the released versions of Sling there is no search support for resource providers other than the default jcr resource provider. However, if you checkout latest trunk, there is a new interface QueriableResourceProvider. Your custom resource provider should implement this to support querying. If it does, you can use ResourceResolver.findResources and it will combine the results from all resource providers implementing this special interface.
