Interface for providing search hints given a search string. Not to be confused with actual
search results, search hints are simply strings of things that are related to or match the
provided search text. A typical use of search hints is in an auto-complete drop down box.
This interface is a companion to SearchProviderBase. If a class extends SearchProviderBase,
then it might optionally implement this interface to provide search hints. It's up to the
consumer of the search provider to actually make use of this functionality. In the
HTML5 viewer, SearchManager manages the search providers and exposes the associated
SearchHintProvider implementations.
