SOSL Statements In Salesforce Apex

Hi

SOSL Statements
SOSL statements evaluate to a list of lists of sObjects, where each list contains the search results for a particular sObject type. The result lists are always returned in the same order as they were specified in the SOSL query. If a SOSL query does not return any records for a specified sObject type, the search results include an empty list for that sObject.

For example, you can return a list of accounts, contacts, opportunities, and leads that begin with the phrase map:

List<List<SObject>> searchList = [FIND 'map*' IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING Account (Id, Name), Contact, Opportunity, Lead];

Hope this will help you.

THANKS

Hi,

Salesforce Object Search Language (SOSL) is a Salesforce search language that is used to perform text searches in records. Use SOSL to search fields across multiple standard and custom object records in Salesforce. SOSL is similar to Apache Lucene.
Adding SOSL queries to Apex is simple—you can embed SOSL queries directly in your Apex code. When SOSL is embedded in Apex, it is referred to as inline SOSL.

This is an example of a SOSL query that searches for accounts and contacts that have any fields with the word 'SFDC'.

List<List<SObject>> searchList = [FIND 'SFDC' IN ALL FIELDS
RETURNING Account(Name), Contact(FirstName,LastName)];

Thanks
