How to retrieve remote outlook contacts programmatically in xcode

Question

In my app i want to search into my contacts - be it for local contacts or remote contacts that can be retrieved from exchange account or some other mail accounts(just like the mail app does).

I am pretty clear about the local searching and fetching. i was looking forward if any of you brilliant guys there knew how i can proceed further in my problem.

Thanks a lot in advance.

In case of an Exchange mailbox, you can use EWS API (HTTP based).
