OSID - osid.contact.AddressBookSearchSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.contact.AddressBookSearchSession
Implements	`osid.contact.AddressBookQuerySession`
Used By	`osid.contact.ContactManager`
Used By	`osid.contact.ContactProxyManager`
Description	This session provides methods for searching `AddressBooks`. The search query is constructed using the `AddressBookQuery`. The address book record `Type` also specifies the record for the address book query. `getAddressBooksByQuery()` is the basic search method and returns a list of `AddressBook` elements. A more advanced search may be performed with `getAddressBooksBySearch()`. It accepts an `AddressBookSearch` in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. `getAddressBooksBySearch()` returns an `AddressBookSearchResults` that can be used to access the resulting `AddressBookList` or be used to perform a search within the result set through `AddressBookSearch`. AddressBooks may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the `AddressBookQuery`. The returns in this session may not be cast directly to these interfaces.
