Thank you for your reply. Indeed, one thing I had tried before posting was your first suggestion: w.setUser(--).setSearch(--).start() But, this does not work for me. (Can't parse the javascript code in detail to figure out why not...)
I will take a look at the REST API instead. If you have an example, that would be quite helpful...
