Adding contacts normally and via search-results works slightly differently in MXit. The 'Invite' button on the search-results window pops-up the standard "Add Buddy" window, and so the prpl doesn't know what type of invite to perform. To get around this problem for now, we'll encode this in the search-results userId and the prpl can detect this and perform the right type of invite.
