 	/**
-	 * Searches through all of a users calendars and calendar objects to find
-	 * an object with a specific UID.
+	 * Finds the path to the calendar object matching a given UID, restricted to
+	 * calendars owned by the specified principal. Calendars owned by other
+	 * principals, even if visible in the principal's calendar home (e.g. via
+	 * sharing), are ignored.
 	 *
-	 * This method should return the path to this object, relative to the
-	 * calendar home, so this path usually only contains two parts:
+	 * When $calendarUri is provided, the lookup is further restricted to that
+	 * calendar. It must be owned by $principalUri, otherwise no match is returned.
+	 * When $calendarUri is null, all calendars owned by the principal are searched.
+	 * In that case, callers must use both path components returned by this method:
+	 * the matching object may belong to a different calendar than the one the
+	 * caller currently has selected.
 	 *
-	 * calendarpath/objectpath.ics
+	 * Subscription and federated cached objects, deleted objects, and objects in
+	 * deleted calendars are not considered.
 	 *
-	 * If the uid is not found, return null.
-	 *
-	 * This method should only consider * objects that the principal owns, so
-	 * any calendars owned by other principals that also appear in this
-	 * collection should be ignored.
+	 * The returned value is a path relative to the calendar home:
+	 * "<calendar-uri>/<object-uri>". It is null when no matching object exists.
+	 * UID uniqueness is guaranteed only within a calendar collection. Therefore,
+	 * an unrestricted lookup can be ambiguous if multiple owned calendars contain
+	 * the same UID; in that case, one database-dependent matching result is
+	 * returned and no calendar is preferred.
