both of those will return a results object, so in your example, no
difference.

but there's a big advantage in using New_Search_Object.

The only way to get a search object is with New_Search_Object. And only
with a search object can you use the following methods:

SetStructure
PhraseDelimiter
SetSearchLimit
SetSort

for example, if you want to sort by anything other than the default
(swishrank) you need a search object.
