# Search

An object that retrieves map-based search results for a user-entered query.

## Declaration

```data
class Search extends Service
```

## Mentioned in

MapKit JS 5

## Overview

Overview The search service lets you populate a map with results from a user-entered query, including information about businesses and other points of interest. MapKit JS handles this through a search object that makes network requests to the search service. Supplying search context creates the most relevant results for a query. Context can include the user’s location, or a coordinate or region that you provide. To use the search service, create an instance of a search object with the desired options. Use the search object to make search requests.
