public final class SearchManager
extends Manager

The search manager allows to perform search requests on a server or service component according to XEP-0055: Jabber Search.

1. Introduction

The basic functionality is to query an information repository regarding the possible search fields, to send a search query, and to receive search results. Note well that there is currently no mechanism for paging through results or limiting the number of “hits”, and that the allowable search fields are limited to those defined in the XML schema; however, extensibility MAY be provided via the Data Forms (XEP-0004) protocol.
