The /toString()/ you implement in your /Search/ class will only have an effect for objects
that are instances of this particular class. The result returned by the call to
/rpcClient.execute()/ is not a /Search/ instance.

Java isn't a prototype-based language. You can't modify or add methods to an existing object;
you can only define a new class that overrides methods in the original class and then ensure
that when you instantiate the relevant objects that you instantiate them from the new class
and not the old. When you're not in control of the object instantiation (for instance, 
when the objects are created in a third party library) you will have to solve the problem
in some other way.
