[All Plat-Dev-201 Questions]

Universal Containers hires a developer to build a custom search page to help users find the Accounts they want. Users will be able to search on Name, Description, and a custom comments field.

Which consideration should the developer be aware of when deciding between SOQL and SOSL?

Choose 2 answers

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, B

SOSL:

Designed for full-text searches, making it faster for unstructured or broad text searches across multiple objects.

Ideal for searching multiple fields simultaneously.

SOQL:

Optimized for structured queries where you need more control over filtering and relationships.

Can return up to 50,000 records in a single query, while SOSL returns only 2,000.

CandDare incorrect because SOSL is faster for text searches, not SOQL.

I feel like SOSL is the go-to for searching across multiple fields, but I might be mixing it up with SOQL.

I remember practicing a question where SOQL could return more records, but I can't recall the specifics.

I think SOSL is generally faster for text searches, but I'm not entirely sure if that's always the case.

I think SOQL is better for returning more records, especially when you need specific fields, but I might be mixing it up with SOSL.
