---

productSearchHits 

productSearchHits: Iterator (read-only)

Note that method does also return search hits representing products that were removed or went offline since the last index update, i.e. you must implement appropriate checks before accessing the product related to the search hit instance (see ProductSearchHit.getProduct())

See Also:

• getProducts()

---

products 

products: Iterator (read-only)

Returns all products in the search result.

Note that products that were removed or went offline since the last index update are not included in the returned set.

refinements 

refinements: ProductSearchRefinements (read-only)

Returns the ProductSearchRefinements associated with this search and filtered by session currency. If an explicit category was set for this purpose using setRefinementCategory(Category), it will be used to determine the refinements. Otherwise, the refinements are determined based on the deepest common category of all products in the search result. Hint: If you want to use the same refinements for all searches, consider defining them in one category (usually root) and using setRefinementCategory(Category) to avoid unnecessary calculation of the deepest common category.
