OSID - osid.commenting.BookSearchSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.commenting.BookSearchSession
Implements	`osid.commenting.BookQuerySession`
Description	This session provides methods for searching `Book` objects. The search query is constructed using the `BookQuery.` The book record `Type` also specifies the record for the book query. `getBooksByQuery()` is the basic search method and returns a list of `Book` elements. A more advanced search may be performed with `getBooksBySearch().` It accepts a `BookSearch` in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. `getBooksBySearch()` returns a `BookSearchResults` that can be used to access the resulting `BookList` or be used to perform a search within the result set through `BookSearch.` Books may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the `BookQuery.` The returns in this session may not be cast directly to these interfaces.
