This site was built to compliment the existing NetSuite Professionals Slack Community by adding a means for members to easily find answers to common questions and to create a searchable database of those questions and answers.

NetSuite Professionals

You can use built in 'N/search'
```search.create({
        type: search.Type.CUSTOMER,
        columns: ['firstname','lastname','email','phone','internalid'],
      });```

if i don't specify `columns` would i get all the columns

You can go through the documentation But we use columns as mandatory.

pretty sure if you don't define columns you don't get columns back. Should be able to test that easily enough in the debugger / console.

okay. also where you used `search.Type.CUSTOMER` how to get this for other Lists, you know for Sales order, would it be SALES_ORDER or SALESORDER ?

<@UK2MLQE4B> you would use `SALES_ORDER`. You can see the rest of the available types under the N/Search module documentation here: <https://netsuite.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/48913>

I would recommend reading through the Module documentation, as N/Search gives you all the functionality of Saved Searches in Netsuite. So alternatively you could search by type `TRANSACTION` and then create a search filter for the sales order type.
