| CustomerContactSearchFormat | `Public Enum CustomerContactSearchFormat` | Defines the search-format enum nested under this type. |
| SearchRequest | `Public Class SearchRequest` | Carries caller-supplied criteria for a combined search. |
| SearchResult | `Public Class SearchResult` | Carries the merged results returned by a combined search. |
| SearchForCustomerContacts | `Public Shared Function SearchForCustomerContacts(ByVal inDPI As IDataPortalInfo, ByVal inRequest As SearchRequest) As SearchResult` | Executes the search routine declared by this type and returns the matching collection or result object. |
