# handle(intent:completion:) Performs the search and returns the results. ``` func handle(intent: INSearchForMessagesIntent, completion: @escaping @Sendable (INSearchForMessagesIntentResponse) -> Void) ``` ## Parameters `intent` The intent object that contains details about the user’s request. The object’s informatin has already been resolved and confirmed by your handler object. `completion` The handler block to execute with your response. You must execute this handler while implementing this method. This handler has no return value and takes the following parameter: - response: The [`INSearchForMessagesIntentResponse`](/documentation/Intents/INSearchForMessagesIntentResponse) object that contains the status of the request. You also use this object to specify the messages that matched the search parameters. This parameter must not be `nil`. ## Discussion Your implementation of this method must perform the search and return the results as part of your response object. If you are unable to perform the search, return a response object whose result code indicates the reason for the failure. > Note: > In watchOS, Siri does not display the search results itself. Instead, it launches your watchOS app to display the search results. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
