# Method name: searchOrders(options: SearchOrdersOptions)

# Method package: wixEcomBackend

# Method menu location: wixEcomBackend --> orders --> searchOrders

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-ecom-backend/orders/search-orders.md

# Method Description:

Retrieves a list of orders, given the provided paging, filtering, and sorting.


Search Orders runs with these defaults, which you can override:

- `createdDate` is sorted in `DESC` order
- `cursorPaging.limit` is `100`
- `filter: {"status": {"$ne": "INITIALIZED"}}` - other order statuses can be queried, but orders with `status: "INITIALIZED"` are never returned

For field support for filters and sorting, see [Orders: Supported Filters and Sorting](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/api-reference/wix-e-commerce/orders/supported-filters-and-sorting.md).

To learn about working with _Search_ endpoints, see
[API Query Language](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/articles/getting-started/api-query-language.md), and
[Sorting and Paging](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/articles/getting-started/sorting-and-paging.md).
