Third party networks
++++++++++++++++++++
Application services may declare which protocols they support via their registration
file. These networks are generally for third party services such as IRC that the
application service is managing. Application services may populate a Matrix room
directory for their registered protocols, as defined in the Client-Server API Extensions.
Each protocol may have several "locations". A location within a protocol is a place
in the third party network, such as an IRC channel. Users of the third party network
may also be represented by the application service.
Locations and users can be searched by fields defined by the application service, such
as by display name or other attribute. When clients request the homeserver to search
in a particular "network" (protocol), the search fields will be passed along to the
application service for filtering.
