Add _search on the end of it plus some kind of query.

That link is described as "base". Perhaps we should move it down the
list. 2nd and 3rd examples are of actual queries.

3rd example on list ;-) (this is correct for search url but you need
to actually search for something or add a size parameter):

http://thedatahub.org/api/data/b9aae52b-b082-4159-b46f-7bb9c158d013/_search?size=1

I agree this is kind of stupid and will look into fixing it.
