# SKSearchGroup

Deprecated. Use asynchronous searching with SKSearchCreate instead, which does not employ search groups.

## Declaration

```swift
class SKSearchGroup
```

## Overview

Overview Defines an opaque data type representing a search group. A search group is a group of one or more indexes to be searched. To create a search group, use SKSearchGroupCreate. For other operations with search groups, see Fast Asynchronous Searching.
