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.
