Details

Does not work through a (macro) script, or it will brick the AH.
Triggers the respective event for an item/commodity:

ITEM_SEARCH_RESULTS_UPDATED -> C_AuctionHouse.GetItemSearchResultInfo()

COMMODITY_SEARCH_RESULTS_UPDATED -> C_AuctionHouse.GetCommoditySearchResultInfo()

Search queries are restricted to 100 calls per minute. These should not be used to query the entire auction house. See C_AuctionHouse.ReplicateItems()

Example

Sends a search query for [Storm Silver Ore] when the button is pressed. Also prints results when manually browsing the AH.

local test_item = 5956 -- Blacksmith Hammer
local test_commodity = 152579 -- Storm Silver Ore

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
local btn = CreateFrame("Button", nil, UIParent, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")
btn:SetPoint("CENTER")
btn:SetSize(120, 40)
btn:SetText("Example")
btn:SetScript("OnClick", function(self, button)
    local itemKey = C_AuctionHouse.MakeItemKey(test_commodity)
    C_AuctionHouse.SendSearchQuery(itemKey, {}, false)
end)

function f:ITEM_SEARCH_RESULTS_UPDATED(event, itemKey)
    for i = 1, C_AuctionHouse.GetNumItemSearchResults(itemKey) do
        local result = C_AuctionHouse.GetItemSearchResultInfo(itemKey, i)
        print(event, itemKey.itemID, i, result.auctionID, result.buyoutAmount)
    end
end

function f:COMMODITY_SEARCH_RESULTS_UPDATED(event, itemID)
    for i = 1, C_AuctionHouse.GetNumCommoditySearchResults(itemID) do
        local result = C_AuctionHouse.GetCommoditySearchResultInfo(itemID, i)
        print(event, itemID, i, result.quantity, result.auctionID, result.unitPrice)
    end
end

function f:OnEvent(event, ...)
    self[event](self, event, ...)
end

f:RegisterEvent("ITEM_SEARCH_RESULTS_UPDATED")
f:RegisterEvent("COMMODITY_SEARCH_RESULTS_UPDATED")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", f.OnEvent)

Addendum: for sorting it requires a table of AuctionHouseSortType. Sorts by price (ascending), and then level (descending).

local sorts = {
	{sortOrder = Enum.AuctionHouseSortOrder.Price, reverseSort = false},
	{sortOrder = Enum.AuctionHouseSortOrder.Level, reverseSort = true},
}

C_AuctionHouse.SendSearchQuery(itemKey, sorts, false)
