You are correct that you will use N/search. It uses an analogous API to the 1.0 API of nlapiCreateSearch.

You will use search.create to build out your search object or search.load to load a saved search. Then you will invoke run on the resulting search object. Finally, you can process the results in two ways:

Use the each method and a callback
Use the getRange method to get a specific number of results

In the example below, I've imported N/search into my module as s and shown the usage of the each method.

function findCustomers() {
    // Create and run search
    s.create({
        "type": "customer",
        "filters": [
            ['isinactive', s.Operator.IS, 'F'], 'and',
            ['company', s.Operator.NONEOF, ['123','456']
        ],
        "columns": ['email', 'firstname', 'lastname']
    }).run().each(processCustomer);
}

function processCustomer(result) {
    // do something with Customer search result
    // returns a boolean; true to continue iterating, false to stop
    return true;
}
