The class is the central interface to a content search result and a content search refinement. It also provides utility methods to generate a search URL.
Constants
CONTENTID_PARAMETER  :  String = "cid"
URL Parameter for the content ID
FOLDERID_PARAMETER  :  String = "fdid"
URL Parameter for the folder ID
Properties
content  :  Iterator  (Read Only)
An Iterator containing all Content Assets that are the result of the search.
contentID  :  String
The content ID against which the search results apply.
deepestCommonFolder  :  Folder  (Read Only)
The deepest common folder of all content assets in the search result.
filteredByFolder  :  boolean
The method returns true, if the content search result is filtered by the folder and it is not subsequently possible to search for content assets that belong to no folder (e.g. those for Page Designer).
folder  :  Folder  (Read Only)
The folder against which the search results apply.
folderID  :  String
The folder ID against which the search results apply.
folderSearch  :  boolean  (Read Only)
The method returns true, if this is a pure search for a folder. The method checks, that a folder ID is specified and no search phrase is specified.
pageMetaTags  :  Array  (Read Only)
All page meta tags, defined for this instance for which content can be generated.

The meta tag content is generated based on the content listing page meta tag context and rules. The rules are obtained from the current folder context or inherited from the parent folder, up to the root folder.

recursiveFolderSearch  :  boolean
Get the flag that determines if the folder search will be recursive.
refinedByFolder  :  boolean  (Read Only)
The method returns true, if the search is refined by a folder. The method checks, that a folder ID is specified.
refinedFolderSearch  :  boolean  (Read Only)
Identifies if this is a folder search and is refined with further criteria, like a name refinement or an attribute refinement.
refinements  :  ContentSearchRefinements  (Read Only)
The set of search refinements used in this search.
