searchJob
query · in the family Search job
What it does
Look up one background search — a search plan the platform is running, or has run, for you: its words, how far it got, how many records matched, and why it stopped if it stopped short.
A SearchJob by id, within the caller's OWN org-group family; requires authentication. A cross-tenant id reads as null (not-found) AND trips the rootId tripwire server-side.
What happens
Reads only — changes nothing.

Arguments
| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
id | ID ID! | yes | The id of the record. |
Returns
SearchJob — the budget rule: at most 50000 records examined (the estimate refuses a plan that cannot fit, with the numbers) · 300 s from the start (past it the job is expired WITH its partials) · 400 machine steps. ONE running job per signed-in session (the SEARCHLOCK marker — a second start refuses CONFLICT/SEARCH_JOB_ACTIVE naming the holder). Lifecycle queued → running → done | cancelled | expired | failed: cancel is the owner's (cancelSearchJob) or the session's end; done stays listed, the other terminals are doomed-class. The generic wire is READ-ONLY (the two reads) — the bespokes own the writes: startSearchJob (THE PLAN GATE, then the per-family list-op offer AS THE CALLER — a family you may not list stops the plan before any read) · cancelSearchJob · searchJobMatches (gated by the READER's own list right over the plan's terminal family).
