Here's a first proposal:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<node name="/org/freedesktop/xesam">
  <interface name="org.freedesktop.xesam.Search">
	...
  </interface>

  <interface name="org.freedesktop.xesam.PagedSearch">
      <method name="GetRangeHits">
      <annotation name="org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.Async" value="true"/>
      <arg type="s" name="search" direction="in" />
      <arg type="u" name="a" direction="in" />
      <arg type="u" name="b" direction="in" />
      <arg type="aav" name="hits" direction="out" />
    </method>

    <method name="GetRangeHitData">
      <annotation name="org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.Async" value="true"/>
      <arg type="s" name="search" direction="in" />
      <arg type="u" name="a" direction="in" />
      <arg type="u" name="b" direction="in" />
      <arg type="as" name="fields" direction="in" />
      <arg type="aav" name="hit_data" direction="out" />
    </method>
  </interface>
</node>
