[Xesam] Need paged search mode for xesam

[Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen]

I have a handful comments about this (Jos also asked about the same on
IRC recently).
It was in fact a design decision, but i am writing this from my mobile
since I'm on holiday, so I'll elaborate when I get home tuesday.

Cheers,
Mikkel
