Search the Crossload catalogue of German Christian content (sermons, books, audio, images) and get matching items with title, author, licence, duration and a teaser. Use it whenever the question is what was preached, written or said about a topic, a bible passage, by an author, or within a length limit ('something good under 30 minutes'). Use 'uids' to narrow a set of items you already found; it returns the items, not the position of a passage inside them. Topic, author and series take names and are resolved server-side; if a name is not an exact match the search is NOT run and the answer says so — call crossload_browse to get the exact spelling. Bible references are given in German ('Epheser 2', 'Joh 3,16-18') and filtered by range, verses included. Note that 'query' is matched semantically, not literally: it always returns something, so a hit is not proof that the words appear in the text. Combine it with a filter when precision matters. Natural-language questions (German question words, '?', six or more words) trigger stronger semantic matching. A bible reference inside the query text triggers a server-side boost on matching content that may skew results — use the 'bibleRef' parameter for deliberate passage filtering instead. Set 'withExcerpts' when you need to quote WHERE something is said: every hit then carries an excerpt around the match, and matching becomes literal, so a hit does prove the words appear and no hit means they do not.
