2. <del> The SEARCH method is used to initiate a server-side search.  Unlike the HTTP GET method, which requests that a server return a representation of the resource identified by the target URI (as defined by RFCHTTP), the SEARCH method is used to ask the server to perform a query operation (described by the request payload) over some set of data scoped to the effective request URI.  The payload returned in response to a SEARCH cannot be assumed to be a representation of the resource identified by the effective request URI. </del> <ins> The QUERY method is used to initiate a server-side query.

Implementations <del> MAY use a request body of any content type with the SEARCH method; however, for backwards compatibility with existing WebDAV implementations, SEARCH requests that use the text/xml or application/xml media types with a root element (XML) in the "DAV:" XML namespace (XMLNS) MUST be processed per the requirements established by RFC5323.

In some cases, the server may choose to respond indirectly to the SEARCH request by returning a 3xx Redirection with a Location header field specifying an alternate Request URI from which the search results can be retrieved using an HTTP GET request. Various non-normative examples of successful SEARCH responses are illustrated in examples. The response to a SEARCH request is not cacheable.
