Search for folder by name

[trbldntyrd]

Hi, I'm a beginner to LAPI/Open Text and there aren't much resources/documentation online to help me. I'm pressed for time because of a deadline next week. I want to be able to find a folder within a given parent folder by name. Currently, I retrieve and loop through all the parent folder's objects and compare names to find the folder, but this is very inefficient if I'm running it several times and with many objects. Is there a more efficient function/method to search for a folder by name? Many thanks for any help!!

You should be able to do a from here search and specify the subtype and the name via the Search API. Perhaps something like

may help along with

and
