search_library
Search the library for what the Small Business Owners Community has learned about an owner's question. Use this first for any small business question, however it's worded: "raise my prices," "a client won't pay," "can't find good people," "working too many hours," "nobody to talk to about the business." Returns up to 8 short passages, each with a match label (strong, related or weak), the title, date, read link, a watch link when there is one, and an id to pass to get_document.
