                     OsidObjectSearch os = session.getObjectSearch();
                     os.limitResultSet(1, 25);
                     
                     OsidObjectSearchOrder order = session.getObjectSearchOrder();
                     order.orderByDisplayName();
                     os.orderResults(order);
                     
                     OsidObjectQuery query;
                     query = session.getObjectQuery();
                     query.addDescriptionMatch("*food*", wildcardStringMatchType, true);
                     
                     ObjectSearchResults results = session.getObjectsBySearch(query, os);
                     ObjectList list = results.getObjectList();
