Options within this action
Search scope
The search scope to use for the query.
Search for
Searches for SharePoint content that has properties matching the criteria. Individual words should be separated by a space character.
Result type
Specify a file type filter for the search. A pre-defined file type can be selected, or a custom filter entered into the text input box. To retrieve all file types, select 'all results' or clear the text input box.
Property restrictions
Allows further narrowing of the search results by only returning items where the property restriction rules are true.
Properties to return
Determines which property data will be retrieved from the search result. Multiple properties can be selected.
Results as XML
This option specifies whether to return the result set in an XML string. Returning the results as XML allows further processing and styling to be applied with the Query XML workflow action. A text workflow variable must be chosen to store the result if Return as XML is selected.
Store result in
Specifies the workflow variable to store the search results in. If the workflow variable can only hold a single value, only the first property of the first search result will be returned. If a collection variable is selected, each property of each search result is stored.
