Its not that I didn't like the answers or said they were "fake", its that
they were just reiterating something I had already stated so they were quite
obvious.  If you read my post I did say: "this makes some sense since search
may return many rows while find is designed to find one row."

I just figured since both things returned are "results" that perhaps it was
possible to cast from one to the other (however I dont know the internals of
the code).  I'm not fighting the API, I'm just trying to understand it
better.

Actually this gets the schema, and the resultset object out of that.  The
object that comes out of this is the same object that is returned from
search. The only reason I posted back is b/c I thought someone else may
benefit from the fact that you can get this out of there if you need to for
some reason, in my case, I'll just use search.


Thanks,
John
