you have to run the search in the script after you create it

var assigneeID = search.create({
            type: "employee",
            filters:
                [
                  ["entityid","is",assigneeName]
                ],
            columns:
                [
                  search.createColumn({name: "internalid", label: "Internal ID"})
                ]
          });
          
          let assigneeInternalId;
          assigneeID.run().each(result => {
            assigneeInternalId = result.id;
            return false;
          })

Thankyou sir
