Class UserSearchManager

java.lang.Object

org.jivesoftware.smackx.search.UserSearchManager

public class UserSearchManager
extends Object

The UserSearchManager is a facade built upon Jabber Search Services (JEP-055) to allow for searching repositories on a Jabber Server. This implementation allows for transparency of implementation of searching (DataForms or No DataForms), but allows the user to simply use the DataForm model for both types of support.

 Connection con = new XMPPConnection("jabber.org");
 con.login("john", "doe");
 UserSearchManager search = new UserSearchManager(con, "users.jabber.org");
 Form searchForm = search.getSearchForm();
 Form answerForm = searchForm.createAnswerForm();
 answerForm.setAnswer("last", "DeMoro");
 ReportedData data = search.getSearchResults(answerForm);
 // Use Returned Data
