Hola amigos!
I have uploaded Dancer::Plugin::SQLSearch to CPAN, which is aimed to help with the creation of simple search pages. Basically, it will take a search query and turn it into a data structure suitable for SQL::Abstract. You then supply a subroutine that takes this data structure and performs the actual search in your database.
From the plugin (and your search routine) you get the first page of results and information to build pagination links. It also saves some info in the session object to offer "back to search results" links for your destination pages.
Hopefully the documentation is clear enough for you to play with this little plugin; the tests should offer some insight as well. I hope you find it useful.
Happy new year,

This plugin looks awesome. Thanks for creating it. I have one suggestion. It makes more sense to me if the default behavior were that terms were AND'ed instead of OR'ed. So that a search for "orion belt" didn't return results for the kind of belt that holds your pants up. -Naveed
