 * \section searchiface_intro Introduction
 *
 * The SearchInterface provides methods to search for a given text pattern in
 * a Document. You can either search for a simple text or for a regular
 * expression, see searchText.
 *
 * \section searchiface_access Accessing the SearchInterface
 *
 * The SearchInterface is supposed to be an extension interface for a
 * Document, i.e. the Document inherits the interface \e provided that the
 * used KTextEditor library implements the interface. Use qobject_cast to
 * access the interface:
 * \code
 * // doc is of type KTextEditor::Document*
 * KTextEditor::SearchInterface *iface =
 *     qobject_cast<KTextEditor::SearchInterface*>( doc );
 *
 * if( iface ) {
 *     // the implementation supports the interface
 *     // do stuff
 * }
 * \endcode
 *
 * \see KTextEditor::Document
