How to get x amount of results from a search

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To get a specific amount of results from a search in NetSuite, you can use the

runPaged

method. This method allows you to specify the number of results per page, and you can then loop through each page to process the results. Here is a code snippet that demonstrates this:

javascript
const MY_SEARCH = search.create({...}); // search.load whatever you need

const MY_SEARCH_RESULTS = MY_SEARCH.runPaged({
        pageSize: 1000
});

MY_SEARCH_RESULTS.pageRanges.forEach(function(pageRange) {
    MY_SEARCH_RESULTS.fetch({index: pageRange.index}).data.forEach(function(searchResult) {

        // do whatever with search result
    });
});

In this example, the

pageSize

parameter is set to 1000, meaning each page will contain 1000 results. You can adjust this number to fit your needs. The

pageRanges

property of the

runPaged

result is an array of all the pages, and you can use the

forEach

method to loop through each page. The

fetch

method is then used to retrieve the data for each page, and another

forEach

loop is used to process each result. If you want to limit the number of results to a specific number, you can add a condition in the

forEach

loop to stop processing once you've reached your desired number of results. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
