Performing a search operation
To target the items on which to act, you must apply a search condition to the operation. The com.actuate.schemas library contains many special classes for setting a search condition and implementing a search for an item in an Encyclopedia volume. Table 3‑8 lists the operations that work with searches.

Operation
Description
GetSavedSearch
Retrieves a saved search.
SaveSearch
Saves the results of a search.
SearchReport
Searches a report for specific criteria.
SelectFiles
Searches for a file or folder in an Encyclopedia volume. Returns the file or folder as an embedded object or an attachment.
SelectFileTypes
Retrieves a list of file types, file types that match specific conditions, or a single file type.
The Information Delivery API does not support constructing composite search messages. For example, it is not possible to use one message to search for a user, a notification group, and a security role.
To search for user information in an external security system, such as a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server or Microsoft Active Directory, call Java Report Server Security Extension (RSSE) API functions.
