search: error

[SteveDCronin]

Simon - with no examples to learn from it is turning out to be painstaking to try to use zkSforce - although I can appreciate that it a robust and powerful too!

Is there a document or tool which would help a saleforce beginner but experienced Cocoa developer learn how to use this tool?

NSString *sqlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"SELECT Id, AccountNumber, Name FROM Account"];
NSArray *results = [self.sforceClient search:sqlString];

MALFORMED_SEARCH: No search term found. The search term must be enclosed in braces.

Huh?

You need to call query not search. The best thing to read is the salesforce soap api documentation

I have read parts of it

The disconnect comes in not understanding how the API translates to ZKS..

The example above is instructive.... How do I understand by reading the API docs that I should use 'query' not 'search' in ZKS?

At the top level it’s a straight mapping, the query method on the client calls the query API, etc. The Select ... string you have is a SOQL query, I’m don’t know where you got it from, but one you know it’s SOQL the docs point you at the query method.
