* Find matching search entries in an app
*
* Search results can either be a complete list of all the matches the app can
* find, or ideally a paginated result set where more data can be fetched on
* demand. To be able to tell where the next offset starts the search uses
* "cursors" which are a property of the last result entry. E.g. search results
* that show most recent entries first can look for entries older than the last
* one of the first result set. This approach was chosen over a numeric limit/
* offset approach as the offset moves as new data comes in. The cursor is
* resistant to these changes and will still show results without overlaps or
* gaps.
*
* See https://dev.to/jackmarchant/offset-and-cursor-pagination-explained-b89
* for the concept of cursors.
*
* Implementations that return result pages have to adhere to the limit
* property of a search query.
