SearchMonkey parses microformats and associates that data with search  
results, but at this point the data is not queryable. (e.g. you can't  
search for ‘pages with an hatom published date of today’ or ‘pages  
containing an event located in London’). You can only access that info  
once you have the results of a more conventional search query.

SM is still excellent, I just mean to clarify that it is not an  
indexer of microformats.
