I've just checked. The info manual says:

   -- Function: auth-source-search &rest spec &key type max host user port
            secret require create delete &allow-other-keys
  
      This function searches (or modifies) authentication backends
       according to SPEC.  See the function’s doc-string for details.

And the docstring says:

  A string value is always matched literally.  A symbol is matched as
  its string value, literally.  All the SPEC values can be single values
  (symbol or string) or lists thereof (in which case any of the search
  terms matches).

I think this is good enough.
