how to use SOSL from .Net

Can someone please let me know how to use SOSL from .Net?

 

I am using the below query and geeting MALFORMED_QUERY: unexpected token: FIND

 

string txt="Acme";

string query="FIND :"+txt+" IN NAME FIELDS RETURNING Account(Id, Name, Type,BillingStreet,Billingcity,BillingState,BillingPostalCode,Owner.Name WHERE RECORDTYPEID='xxxxxxx')";
 
Please advise...

First of all, your SOSL doesn't look right.  There's no colon operator in SOSL, it should look like
 
FIND {map*} IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING Account (id, name), Contact, Opportunity, Lead
 
Then: you should be using the search() method, not the query() method, to run SOSL.  See some sample code in the docs here.

Thanks.. 

I tried your suggestion, but i keep receiving the error...

MALFORMED_QUERY: unexpected token: FIND 

string Acct_query = "FIND {" + searchText + "*} IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING Account (id, name) where RECORDTYPEID='xxxxx' "; 
sForce.QueryResult qr = binding.query(Acct_query); 
sForce.sObject[] records = qr.records; 

Please advise.

If you want to use SOSL, you need to call search, not query. (query uses SOQL).
