Hi

This search contract sample shows how to let users search your app when they select the Search charm and open the search pane and how to use the search pane to display suggestions for users' queries. You can add search to your app by participating in the Search contract. This sample uses Windows.ApplicationModel.Search API, including the SearchPane class.

You should use this sample as you go through the Quickstart: Adding search to a Metro style app topic to fully understand how to participate in the Search contract.
