OSID - osid.journaling.JournalSearchSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.journaling.JournalSearchSession
Implements	`osid.journaling.JournalQuerySession`
Description	This session provides methods for searching `Journal` objects. The search query is constructed using the `JournalQuery.` The journal record `Type` also specifies the record for the journal query. `getJournalsByQuery()` is the basic search method and returns a list of `Journal` elements. A more advanced search may be performed with `getJournalsBySearch().` It accepts a `JournalSearch` in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. `getJournalsBySearch()` returns a `JournalSearchResults` that can be used to access the resulting `JournalList` or be used to perform a search within the result set through `JournalSearch.` Journals may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the `JournalQuery.` The returns in this session may not be cast directly to these interfaces.
