Create an Apex class that returns both contacts and leads based on a parameter.

On this one, I have this as my code which I'm pretty sure is correct. But I'm lost because its stating that there are no contacts or leads with that last name. How exactly do I add these?

public class ContactAndLeadSearch{
    public static List<List< SObject>> searchContactsAndLeads(String first)
    {
         List<List<sObject>> searchList=[FIND 'Smith' IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING Lead(FirstName,LastName),Contact(FirstName,LastName)];
            return searchList;
     }
}


Thanks,

Trevor

Hi Trevor Dintino,

First Create one lead and one contact record with last Name Smith .

Your code should be like below 
Public Class ContactAndLeadSearch
{
        Public static List<List<sObject>> searchContactsAndLeads(String searchword)
        {
            String searchQuery = 'FIND \'' + searchword + '\' IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING Lead(Name,FirstName,LastName ), Contact(FirstName,LastName )';
            List<List<sObject>> searchConLead = search.query(searchQuery);
            return searchConLead;
        }
}

Execute below code in In Debug Annonymous window 
List<List<sObject>> searchContactLead = ContactAndLeadSearch.searchContactsAndLeads('amit');

List<Lead> leadList = New List<Lead>();
List<Contact> contList = New List<Contact>();

leadList = ((List<Lead>)searchContactLead[0]);
contList = ((List<Contact>)searchContactLead[1]);

for(Lead a:leadList)
{
System.debug('Found following Leads ' + a.Name);
}
for(Contact cts:contList){
System.debug('Found following Contacts ' + cts.FirstName + '' + cts.LastName);
}

Amit, I understand the coding part, but I've never made a lead or contact. Wondering if that had to be in code or not. Thanks

Trevor, You code should work fine. Can you please check security - whether you have access to that record or not. And also try with 'Smith*'.

First we need to create Contact and Lead record with The LastName Smith And then write below code.
public class ContactAndLeadSearch {
    public static List <List<SObject>> searchContactsAndLeads(String Smith){
    List <List<SObject>> searchlist=[FIND 'Smith' IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING Contact(LastName),Lead(LastName)];
        return searchlist;
  }
}
