No you can't. The Java and JavaScript APIs are local and not remote APIs.

What we will typically do is to use a web script to run a piece of Java Script.

Web scripts are simply a web interface. They are not as full-featured as web services, but they can return pretty much anything you want, in the format you want.

So, you need to create a request via the web, in POST or GET form, to a web script, and it will return a result in some form.

Check out the wiki (wiki.alfresco.com) for Web Scripts. Look for how to get to the Web Script console. This allows you to list out the web scripts, including the interface, usage, and arguments. They are categorized along the lines that you suggest.

The URL for the Web Script console will look like: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/index – substitute your server as appropriate.

Can RESTful or REST API be used for calling alfresco search from jsp/servlet? If not Restful API, can you specify the API thats is used for this purpose?

Are you new to alfresco or to web technologies in general?
As invictus9 pointed out, you can find a list of the webservices available here:

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/index – substitute your server as appropriate.

Find one that would suit your needs and look at the return format, it will be either json or xml or html or whatever format allowed by the webservice that you which to use.
You can easily call these urls from your php, either to POST some data or to GET some informations out of alfresco.
