org.jivesoftware.smackx.search.UserSearch

public class UserSearch
extends IQ

Implements the protocol currently used to search information repositories on the Jabber network. To date, the jabber:iq:search protocol has been used mainly to search for people who have registered with user directories (e.g., the "Jabber User Directory" hosted at users.jabber.org). However, the jabber:iq:search protocol is not limited to user directories, and could be used to search other Jabber information repositories (such as chatroom directories) or even to provide a Jabber interface to conventional search engines.

The basic functionality is to query an information repository regarding the possible search fields, to send a search query, and to receive search results.
