I've summarized the scoped kernel usage within the blog post at http://laststation.net/2009/01/31/jbossmc-scoped-kernel/ It took me quite a while to understand it from the test cases. @Search seems to be a bit confusing way how to handle this. Wouldn't be easier to move search strategies into the @Inject itself and integrate it with the core microcontainer (instead of plugins).
