You can always just use the insert API http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/maintaining/datastore.html?highlight=datastore#ckanext.datastore.logic.action.datastore_upsert

The search does not do a full test search. You have to write custom sql queries using http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/maintaining/datastore.html?highlight=datastore#ckanext.datastore.logic.action.datastore_search_sql and http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/textsearch.html.
