# execute(text:)

Generates output data from the specified input string.

```
nonisolated(nonsending) func execute(text: String) async throws -> SearchPipelineData
```

## Parameters

`items`

A string containing the text to process.

## Return Value

A pipeline data structure with data your stage produced. Make sure the output you return matches the output
you specified in the `CustomStage/outputTypes` property.

## Discussion

If your stage supports text as input, implement this method and use it to generate your stage’s supported output data. Write your
code to run in parallel with other instances of your stage and instances of other stages. The best approach is to use only the contents
of the `items` parameter and local intermediate values you create to deliver the output data.
