Specifying Columns on Contact Search
We are having some trouble getting back a result when we attempt to use a ContactSearchAdvanced object. We are using .NET for our development environment.
If we use a ContactSearch object and specify the criteria, we get back the records we want. But if we try to move that ContactSearch object into a ContactSearchAdvanced object so we can specify the columns we want back, we never get a result set.
If we don't specify the .columns of a ContactSearchAdvanced object, we get back the same results as the ContactSearch itself.
We are NOT referencing a saved search ID. We want our code to ultimately call result columns from the base Contact record and a Joined table. Our code will be more portable if we don't reference a saved search.
