/**
 * @brief Used for searching.
 * @ingroup Qt Search Client API
 * Link against: cpixsearch.lib 
 * 
 * An instance of CpixSearcher is used to commit search operations.
 * 
 * Example code:
 * 
 * Usecase 1: Sync calls. 
 * \code
 * CpixSearcher* searcher = CpixSearcher::newInstance("root");
 * if(searcher){
 *      int hitCount = searcher->search("search for me");
 *      for(int i=0; i<hitCount; i++) {
 *      CpixDocument* doc = document(0);
 *      // do something with doc.
 *      delete doc;
 *      }
 *  }
 * \endcode
 * 
 * Usecase 2: Sync calls with explicit SetDatabase().
 * \code
 * CpixSearcher* searcher = CpixSearcher::newInstance();
 * searcher->SetDatabase("root");
 * int hitCount = searcher->search("search for me");
 * for(int i=0; i<hitCount; i++) {
 *      try{
 *          CpixDocument* doc = document(i);
 *          // do something with doc.
 *          delete doc;
 *      catch(...){
 *      //Do Cleanup
 *      }
 * }
 * \endcode
 * 
 * Usecase 3: Async Calls
 * \code
 * 
 * iCurrentDocumentCount = 0;
 * 
 * CpixSearcher* searcher = CpixSearcher::newInstance("root");
 * connect(searcher, SIGNAL(handleSearchResults(int,int)), this, SLOT(ClientHandleSearchCompleteSlot(int,int)) );
 * connect(searcher, SIGNAL(handleDocument(int,CpixDocument*)), this, SLOT(ClientHandleGetDocumentCompleteSlot(int,CpixDocument*)) );
 * int hitCount = searcher->search("search for me");
 * GetDocumentAsync( iCurrentDocumentCount++ );
 * 
 * ClientClass::ClientHandleGetDocumentCompleteSlot(int aError, CpixDocument* aDocument){
 *  if( KErrNone != aError ){
 *  //do something with aDocument
 *  }
 *  documentAsync( iCurrentDocumentCount++ ); //Now get the next document.
 * }
 * 
 * \endcode
