The searchclient method allows the merchant to fetch a single client record, similar to the fetchclient call, but using an standard client field rather than requiring the clientid or merchantid unique keys.
Response Text Example: clientid=1234&merchantid=mymerchid&firstname=John&lastname=Doe&address1=123+Fake+St&city=Long+Beach&state=CA&postal=90802&country=US&phone=123-123-1234&email=john%40fake.com&chargemethod=cc&status=active&ccname=John+Doe&ccnumber=3232&ccexpmonth=09&ccexpyear=2013&lasttransstatus=success&datecreated=2007-07-15&custom1=My+Custom+Data
