[Telepathy] ContactSearch API draft

[Simon McVittie]

Normally I'd be saying this on IRC, but with most of the core developers
in Australia...

Brief notes on various protocols, taken from XEP-0055 and the Pidgin plugins:
http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/ContactSearch

Draft API (HTML):
http://people.freedesktop.org/~smcv/telepathy-spec-search/spec.html#org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Type.ContactSearch.DRAFT

Draft API (source):
http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/smcv/telepathy-spec-smcv.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/search

Usage for a web-like "one big text box" search (not available on all protocols):

    Search({"": "Simon McVittie +44"})

Usage for a "separate search fields" search (not available on all protocols
either):

    Search({"x-n-family": "McVittie", "x-n-given": "Simon"})

Regards,
    Simon
