/**
 * @short An attribute to store query properties of persistent search collections.
 *
 * This attribute is attached to persistent search collections automatically when
 * creating a new persistent search with SearchCreateJob.
 * Later on the search query can be changed by modifying this attribute of the
 * persistent search collection with an CollectionModifyJob.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * @code
 *
 * const QString name = "My search folder";
 * const QString query = "...";
 *
 * Akonadi::SearchCreateJob *job = new Akonadi::SearchCreateJob( name, query );
 * connect( job, SIGNAL(result(KJob*)), SLOT(jobFinished(KJob*)) );
 *
 * MyClass::jobFinished( KJob *job )
 * {
 *   if ( job->error() ) {
 *     qDebug() << "Error occurred";
 *     return;
 *   }
 *
 *   const Collection searchCollection = job->createdCollection();
 *   ...
 *
 *   // now let's change the query
 *   if ( searchCollection.hasAttribute<Akonadi::PersistentSearchAttribute>() ) {
 *     Akonadi::PersistentSearchAttribute *attribute = searchCollection.attribute<Akonadi::PersistentSearchAttribute>();
 *     attribute->setQueryString( "... another query string ..." );
 *
 *     Akonadi::CollectionModifyJob *modifyJob = new Akonadi::CollectionModifyJob( searchCollection );
 *     connect( modifyJob, SIGNAL(result(KJob*)), SLOT(modifyFinished(KJob*)) );
 *   }
 *   ...
 * }
