Search Recommendations Interface
This interface class is the definition of the required methods for generating search recommendations.
Note that every class implementing this interface needs to be accompanied by a template file in the Recommend subdirectory of every theme's template directory. For example, \VuFind\Recommend\SideFacets needs a corresponding Recommend/SideFacets.phtml template. The template will be rendered as a partial with two available variables: recommend (the recommendation object) and results (the search results object).
