Why will EModelService not find the part Toolbar? [message #1000705]

I tried to use EModelService to find the Part's Toolbar.

I failed, because searching for Tolbars or toolbar Elements returns null.

Why won't EModelService find the Toolbar Elements?
Somehwhere I heared about the difference between Model Elements and Model Attributes.
What is this difference?
How would i find the model Attributes?

This is the same problem as discussed in other threads. The
EModelService does NOT search through the complete model but only
through the ElementContainer#children hierarchy.

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=383403

This is a very annoying bug and an easy feature to implement IMHO so a
good start for a contribution.

Things to do:
a) update the find-method explaining what elements are searched
b) adding an extra method which traverses the complete model
