# Search

> **Note:** This SDK is currently in deprecation. Migrate to [JavaScript SDK](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/datastore/get-component-instance/) now.

### Search for Data in Indexed Columns

The search process specifies the pattern to be searched for when you search indexed columns of the tables. You can search for:

* Data in multiple tables

* Only data in search indexed columns

To learn more about search, please refer to the information [here](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/search-integration/introduction).

### Get a Component Instance

The search object can be created using the following method which does not fire a server side call.

```javascript
//Get a search object
var search = catalyst.search;

```
