/**
*  @ref CPosLmMultiDbSearch is used to perform searches for landmarks or
*  landmark categories in multiple databases.
*
*  The client can specify which databases to search.
*
*  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).
*
*  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
*  sufficient to run the search synchronously, the client only has to
*  call @p CPosLmOperation::ExecuteL. If it is run incrementally the client can
*  supervise the progress of the operation. The @p CPosLmOperation::NextStep
*  function in the search operations cannot be executed synchronously using
*  @p User::WaitForRequest. Doing so may cause the operation to hang.
*  @p CPosLmOperation::NextStep must be run using an active object. 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.
*
*  It is not allowed to search by category item ID in
*  @ref CPosLmCategoryCriteria since an item ID is only valid in one landmark
*  database.
*
*  It is only allowed to specify a named category, a global category,
*  or no category. It is not allowed to search with @ref CPosLmIdListCriteria
*  since an item ID is only valid in one landmark database. In both cases
*  the search functions leave with error code @p KErrArgument.
*
*  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).
*
*  If @ref CPosLmMultiDbSearch is used, the client must call the global
*  function @ref ReleaseLandmarkResources before terminating in order to
*  release all used landmark resources, otherwise the client may receive
*  an ALLOC panic.
*
*  @p NetworkServices capability is required for remote databases.
*
*  @lib eposlmmultidbsearch.lib
*  @since S60 3.0
