# searchAndGetScreenPopUrl() for Salesforce Classic

## Usage

Searches objects specified in the softphone layout for a given string. Returns search results and the relative URL to be screen popped. Note that this method does not perform an actual screen pop. This method respects screen pop settings defined in the softphone layout. This method is only available in API version 28.0 or later.

:::tip
This method is not available in the Open CTI API for Lightning Experience. To accomplish the same functionality in Lightning, use the `deferred` parameter available in the [searchAndScreenPop() for Lightning Experience](/docs/service/api-cti/guide/sforce-api-cti-searchandscreenpop-lex.md) method.

| -------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `searchParams` | string   | String to search.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| `queryParams`  | string   | Specifies the query parameters to pass to the URL.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |

| `result` | string | Returns a list of objects that match the search results and the URL to the screen pop (`screenPopUrl`). The search is performed on the objects specified in the softphone layout. For each object found, the object ID, field names, field values, and for API version 33.0 or later, object tab name are returned as a JSON string. For API version 31.0 and later, invoking this method on a PersonAccount object returns additional `contactId` and `personAccount` fields. |
| `error`  | string | If the API call was successful, this variable is undefined. If the API call failed, this variable returns an error message.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |

Example `result` when searching for "Acme" (one Account and three Opportunity objects found):

```javascript
{"006x0000001ZcyG":{"Name":"Acme - 600 Widgets","object":"Opportunity","displayName":"Opportunity"},
"001x0000003DGQR":{"Name":"Acme","Type":"Analyst","object":"Account",

"006x0000001ZcyF":{"Name":"Acme - 1,200 Widgets","object":"Opportunity","displayName":"Opportunity"},
screenPopUrl:"/search/SearchResults?searchType=2&str=Acme"}

```

Example `result` for a PersonAccount object (API version 31.0 and later):

```javascript
{"001D000000Jn5C5":{"Name":"PersonAccount","contactId":"003D000000QQCEu",
"Type":"Analyst","object":"Account","displayName":"Account","personAccount":true},
"screenPopUrl":"/001D000000Jn5C5"}
