Interface IEditorMatchAdapter


public interface IEditorMatchAdapter
This interface serves as an adapter between matches and editors. It is used to highlight matches in editors. Search implementors who want their matches highlighted must return an implementation of IEditorMatchAdapter from the getEditorMatchAdapter() method in their search result subclass. It is assumed that the match adapters are stateless, and no lifecycle management is provided.

Clients may implement this interface.
