Description
Some search filters/providers need to search from multiple places for example as in https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/50550 dav app search provider needs to search from events, contacts ...
-
searchFromshould probably be an array (a list of all places/providers to search) - The ID should be used uniquely to identify the provider and not specify where to search from
Also using the app id is not a good choice as one app can have multiple providers registered (e.g. dav has Contacts, Events and Tasks search)

Research direction
Start by reviewing PR #50550 and the existing search-provider registration and filtering flow in the Nextcloud server. Identify how DAV exposes Contacts, Events, and Tasks providers, then define the provider identity and multi-source behavior described in the issue. Done means the API clearly supports multiple search places and uniquely identifies each provider.
