OSID - osid.calendaring.OffsetEventSearchSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.calendaring.OffsetEventSearchSession
Implements	`osid.calendaring.OffsetEventQuerySession`
Used By	`osid.calendaring.CalendaringManager`
Used By	`osid.calendaring.CalendaringProxyManager`
Description	This session provides methods for searching `OffsetEvent` objects. The search query is constructed using the `OffsetEventQuery`. The offset event record `Type` also specifies the record for the offset event query. `getOffsetEventsByQuery()` is the basic search method and returns a list of `OffsetEvents`. A more advanced search may be performed with `getOffsetEventsBySearch()`.It accepts an `OffsetEventSearch` in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. `getOffsetEventsBySearch()` returns an `OffsetEventSearchResults` that can be used to access the resulting `OffsetEventList` or be used to perform a search within the result set through `OffsetEventSearch`. This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching. federated calendar view: searches include offset events in calendars of which this calendar is an ancestor in the calendar hierarchy isolated calendar view: searches are restricted to offset events in this calendar Offset events may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the `OffsetEventQuery`.
