Interface ISearchDataProvider

Represents a search mechanism that can be activated if the user types the provider name preceded by @. The Tell Me will use it's default provider in case no @ sign is detected at the beginning of the word. In case an @ is detected it will search the providers for the corresponding provider name if none is found it will use the default one. If one is detected then it will be used to do a query on it using the words after the provider name. e.g @CustomProvider stringToSearch1 stringToSearch2
