This method allows you to search the customer database using flexible search terms. This method searches the customer database (aka recurring billing) not the transactions history. To search the transaction history for a specific customer, use either the searchTransactions or getCustomerHistory method.
Use as many or as few search terms as you like. With MatchAll set to “true,” all terms must match to return a result. If the search does not yield the desired results, try broadening your search by eliminating terms, or change MatchAll to “false.”
Valid field names for search and sort are:
See also searchcustomerscustom, searchcustomerscount, searchCustomerID
| Type | Name | Description |
| ueSecurityToken | Token | Merchant security token: used to identify merchant and validate transaction. |
| SearchParam | Search | Array of search parameters. |
| boolean | MatchAll | If set to “true,” only results matching all search criteria will be returned, if set to “false,” results matching any of the search criteria will be returned. |
| integer | Start | Start position, defaults to 0 (first customer found). |
| integer | Limit | Maximum number of customers to return in result. |
| string | Sort | Field name to sort the results by |
