OsidSearch specifies search options used to perform OSID searches. An OsidSearch is available from an OsidSession and defines methods to govern the overall search of terms supplied in one or more OsidQuery interfaces.

This interface is available from a search session.Example using the search interface to retrieve the first 25 results:

OsidSearch os = session.getObjectSearch();
os.limitResultSet(1, 25);

OsidQuery query;
query = session.getObjectQuery();
query.addDescriptionMatch("*food*", wildcardStringMatchType, true);

ObjectSearchResults results = session.getObjectsBySearch(query, os);
ObjectList list = results.getObjectList();
