Retrieve customer information, using an e-mail address or name.

If customer_id contains an ’@’ sign, it is assumed to be an e-mail address. Otherwise, it is assumed to be the customer‘s name.

Example:

 ccs = CustomerContentSearch.new( 'ian@caliban.org' )

In the above example, we look up customer information about ian@caliban.org. The CustomerInfo response group will return, amongst other things, a customer_id property, which can then be plugged into CustomerContentLookup to retrieve more detailed customer information.
