public interface Search

extends Comparable, Cloneable, Serializable

This represents parameters for searching for objects, specifically Content objects.

Attribute: maxReturn

• Containment: By Value
• Multiplicity: 1:1
• This specifies the maximum number of objects to return. It should 0 or less to specifying returning all objects that match, no matter how large.

Attribute: sort

• Containment: By Value
• Multiplicity: 1:1
• This specifies the SQL ORDER BY-style clause the controlling the sorting on the return list. It is a comma-separated list of property names, each optionally appended with either "ASC" (ascending sort) or "DESC" (descending sort). For example, "creationDate ASC, mimeType DESC, identifier" would specify to sort ascending on on creationDate, to next sort descending on mimeType, and to finally sort ascending on identifier.

Attribute: expression

• Containment: By Value
• Multiplicity: 1:1
• This specifies the Expression the objects must match against.
