Finding Resources

The following code example shows how to perform a search and store the results in a variable:

You can also specify the runImmediately:false parameter so that you can set up the search in the first call, and run it later in a separate call. In the following code sample, the first statement builds a query but makes no request to the server, and the second statement actually sends the request, which executes the query.

Reusing a Search Instance
