Example

//Create a provider object, which MUST have a query method (see signature) and MAY have a get method. If results have an id attribute the get method MUST be implemented
    //  provider.query(query, limit) must return
    //  {
    //    status: "ok|error",
    //    hits: nnn,
    //    results: results
    //  }, where
    //  results is an array of
    //  {
    //    title: "title ",
    //    description: "description",
    //    geometry: null|geojsonobject
    //  }
    // or a promise of such
      var provider = {
               "query": function(query, limit){
                   var results = [];
                   for (var i = 0;i<limit;i++){
                       results.push({
                           title: "title " + i,
                           description: "description " + i,
                           geometry: null
                       });
                   }
                   var result = {status: "ok", hits: 9999, results: results};
                   return result;
               },
               // The select method is optional. The controller will NOT emit SELECT in SS if defined 
               "select": function(result){
                 //Do something with result
               }
      };

// Create a clientSearcher
       var clientSearcher = new Septima.Search.ClientSearcher({
           singular: "objekt",
           plural: "objekter",
           provider: provider
      });

// Add the searcher to septima search
controller.addSearcher(clientSearcher);
