+/**
+*  This class is used to perform searches for landmarks or landmark categories
+*  in a landmark database.
+*
+*  To search a landmark database, an instance of this class is created,
+*  supplying the database to search. The client creates a criterion object to
+*  specify what to search for. There are different criterion classes which all
+*  inherit from @ref CPosLmSearchCriteria. For instance, the client can search
+*  for landmarks which contain a certain text string by passing a
+*  @ref CPosLmTextCriteria.
+*
+*  Some criterion classes are used for searching for landmarks (e.g.
+*  @ref CPosLmCategoryCriteria is used for searching for landmarks which
+*  contain a certain category) and some are used
+*  to search for landmark categories (e.g. @ref CPosLmCatNameCriteria is used
+*  to search for landmark categories by specifying a category name which may
+*  contain wild-card characters).
+*
+*  Searches can be run in incremental mode.
+*  @ref StartLandmarkSearchL and @ref StartCategorySearchL both return a
+*  @p CPosLmOperation object which is used to execute the search. If it is
+*  run incrementally the client can supervise the progress of the operation.
+*  If it is sufficient to run the search synchronously, the client only has to
+*  call @p CPosLmOperation::ExecuteL. The client can cancel
+*  the search by deleting the @p CPosLmOperation object.
+*
+*  By default, these functions start a new search, but the client can specify
+*  that only previous matches should be searched. This can be used to refine
+*  the search when there are many matches.
+*
+*  During the search execution a read-lock is acquired for each database.
+*
+*  Only one search can be performed at a time by the single instance of
+*  the class. If a search is already running, the search function leaves
+*  with error code @p KErrInUse.
+*
+*  After search completion, the client can make a second search and specify
+*  that only the matches from the previous search shall be considered.
+*
+*  The client can also set a limit on how many search matches should be
+*  returned (see @ref SetMaxNumOfMatches).
+*
+*  The client retrieves the matches from the search by requesting an iterator
+*  (see @ref MatchIteratorL) or by using display data (see @ref SetDisplayData).
+*
+*  @p NetworkServices capability is required for remote databases.
+*
+*  @lib eposlmsearchlib.lib
