Parameters

SearchConditions

The search conditions to use in the operation.

SearchFlags

Value	Description
MFSearchFlagDisableRelevancyRanking	Search results are not sorted according to their relevancy.
MFSearchFlagIncludeUnmanagedObjects	Include unmanaged objects in the search results.
MFSearchFlagLookAllObjectTypes	Perform a separate search for each object type and merges the results.
MFSearchFlagLookInAllVersions	Orders to look for matches in all object versions. By default, only the latest object versions are included in the search.
MFSearchFlagNone	No flags.
MFSearchFlagResultsFromEachRepository	Limits the search results per search location instead of limiting the total number of results from all vaults and repositories. This ensures that the search results include items from all search locations with search hits.
MFSearchFlagReturnLatestVisibleVersion	Orders to return the latest version for each object, regardless of whether it is an actual matching version. This flag is effective only if MFSearchFlagLookInAllVersions is on.

SortResults

If this is set to "true", the results are sorted from A to Z based on their display name.

MaxResultCount

The maximum number of results to return. Use the value "0" to return an unlimited number of results.

SearchTimeoutInSeconds

The timeout in seconds after which the search is canceled if it has not completed. Use the value "0" to wait indefinitely for the search results to be returned.

Remarks

The memory available in the system limits the maximum number of results even when the value "0" is specified for "MaxResultCount".
