Does NetSuite cache the results of Search.getRange() and Search.RunPaged() to improve performance?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that NetSuite does not cache the results of

Search.getRange()

and

Search.runPaged()

. The performance difference between these two methods is not due to caching but rather the governance units they consume.

Search.runPaged()

and

PagedData.fetch()

consume 5 units per 1000 results, while

ResultSet.getRange()

consumes 10 units per 1000 results. Therefore, using

Search.runPaged()

is more efficient in terms of governance units. However, it's important to note that the performance of these methods can also depend on other factors such as the number of results and the number of columns returned. For large result sets, it might be more efficient to use a lazy processing approach where only a single page of results is held in memory at any given time. Here is an example of how to use `Search.runPaged()`:

javascript
var sea = search.create();
var pagedResults = sea.runPaged({
    pageSize: 1000
});
pagedResults.pageRanges.forEach(function(range) {
    var page = pagedResults.fetch({
        index: range.index
    });
    page.data.forEach(...);
});

And here is an example of how to use `Search.getRange()`:

javascript
var sea = search.create();
var resultSet = sea.run();
var i = 0;
while(true) {
    var results = resultSet.getRange({ start: i, end: i + 1000 });
    results.forEach(...);
    if (results.length < 1000) {
        break;
    }
    i += 1000;
}
