Table 16.5. Types of Search Requests
Name	Description
SearchRequest	A request to query a named workspace using a supplied query. The connector returns tuples containing the columns and resulting values, plus statistics about the execution of the query.
FullTextSearchRequest	A request to search a named workspace using a supplied full-text search string and optional offset and limit values. The connector returns tuples containing the columns and resulting values, plus statistics about the execution of the query.
FunctionRequest	A request that executes a supplied function at a particular location within a named workspace. The inputs to the function can be set on the request (as a series of name-value pairs) and when executed, the function will set the outputs as name-value pairs on the request. This request is extremely useful for (complex) operations that must first read information from the workspace and then perform other actions.
