I have a saved search for a `custom record`, this custom record has other custom records as `childs`, they relate with the parent record id that is on the child record. I created a  `search` that shows me the info from the parent and all the childs, I set the `summary type` of the parent fields as `group`, so for example I have a parent record that has 8 childs, how do I create a search in suitescript to get all the info, from the parent and also from the 8 childs?

the group summary type is used to group different search result rows into the same search row

the other summary types are functions used on the grouped data

if you want your children to appear on distinct rows, then you need to group by a column distinct to each child, usually some sort of id

keep in mind that you might not need a summary search if you only use Groups
