Salesforce Object Search Language (SOSL)

Use the Salesforce Object Search Language (SOSL) to construct text searches in the following environments:

• the search() call
• Apex statements
• Visualforce controllers and getter methods
• the Schema Explorer of the Eclipse Toolkit

Unlike SOQL, which can only query one object at a time, SOSL enables you to search text, email, and phone fields for multiple objects simultaneously.
