Dynamic SOSL | SOQL vs SOSL

What Is Dynamic SOSL?

Dynamic SOSL refers to the creation of a SOSL string at run time with Apex code. Dynamic SOSL enables you to create more flexible applications. For example, you can create a search based on input from an end user, or update records with varying field names.

How To Write Dynamic SOSL?

Use Search.query() to create a dynamic SOSL query at run time.

public static void main(String objectName)

{

String searchquery = 'FIND \'Edge*\'IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING Account(Id, Name), Contact, Lead'; 

List<List<SObject>> searchList = Search.query(searchquery);

}

Note:

Dynamic 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 dynamic SOSL query. From the example above, the results from Account are first, then Contact, then Lead.

The search query method can be used wherever an inline SOSL query can be used, such as in regular assignment statements and for loops. The results are processed in much the same way as static SOSL queries are processed.
