# find

> Search the document for text or node matches using SDM/1 selectors. Returns discovery-grade results: for mutation targeting, use query.match instead.



- Member path: `doc.find(…)`
- Mutates document: no
- Idempotency: `idempotent`
- Supports tracked mode: no
- Supports dry run: no

## Expected result

Returns an SDFindResult envelope ({ total, limit, offset, items }). Each item is an SDNodeResult ({ node, address }).
