# init(completion:)

Creates and returns a search request based on the specified search completion data.

```
init(completion: MKLocalSearchCompletion)
```

## Parameters

`completion`

A search completion object that MapKit obtains from an [`MKLocalSearchCompleter`](/documentation/MapKit/MKLocalSearchCompleter) object. The search request uses the provided object to set the value of the [`naturalLanguageQuery`](/documentation/MapKit/MKLocalSearch/Request/naturalLanguageQuery) property.

## Return Value

An initialized search request.

## Discussion

Use this method when initializing your object from [`MKLocalSearchCompleter`](/documentation/MapKit/MKLocalSearchCompleter) objects. You don’t need to use this method if you intend to provide the search string and region information yourself.
