    /** \brief Generic search class. All search wrappers must inherit from this.
      *
      * Each search method must implement 2 different types of search:
      *   - \b nearestKSearch - search for K-nearest neighbors.
      *   - \b radiusSearch - search for all nearest neighbors in a sphere of a given radius
      *
      * The input to each search method can be given in 3 different ways:
      *   - as a query point
      *   - as a (cloud, index) pair
      *   - as an index
      *
      * For the latter option, it is assumed that the user specified the input
      * via a \ref setInputCloud () method first.
      *
      * \note In case of an error, all methods are supposed to return 0 as the number of neighbors found.
      *
      * \note libpcl_search deals with three-dimensional search problems. For higher
      * level dimensional search, please refer to the libpcl_kdtree module.
