SearchCallback

SearchCallbacks are notified when the AddonRepository search completes. If the search succeeded, then searchSucceeded() is called and is passed an array of Addon objects that matched the search. Since these Addons are not actually installed, the AddonManager does not know about them. However, for each returned add-on, an AddonInstall object is created, which the AddonManager does know about. Each AddonInstall can be accessed through the Addon install attribute, and is initially in the STATE_AVAILABLE state. The array of Addons passed to  searchSucceeded() only includes add-ons that are compatible with the current application and are not already installed or being installed. The AddonRepository is available for another search once one of the callback functions is called.
