This has been renamed to KLDAP::LdapClientSearch and moved to kdepimlibs/kldap/.
In opposite to KLDAP::LdapSearch, it supports parallel searches on all configured
KLDAP::LdapClient objects.

I'm not sure yet whether we can merge that somehow to get rid of the kio_ldap
dependency.

No, it uses KLDAP::Ldif and kio_ldap directly, the KPIM::Ldap classes
are not involved.

Casey Link is working on this one.

This should be marked as deprecated as soon as the above one is ready
to be moved to kdepimlibs/akonadi/contact/

This one has been dropped in favor of KLDAP::LdapSearchDialog (see below)

This one has been renamed to KLDAP::LdapSearchDialog and moved to kdepimlibs/kldap
