Find US counties by (partial) name and return each match's name, fullName, state and fips. The countyFilters condition in a property filter tree takes the 5-digit **fips** as its value (with label set to the display name): a county DISPLAY NAME is rejected by saveFilter/updateFilter, because the query compiles to a county_fips term and a name would match nothing. Include the state in the search term (e.g. "Orange County FL") when a county name is common. The same fips is what getZoningCodes takes as countyFips.

limit is clamped to 10.

Variables

The example sends only what the schema requires. Some operations also need one of several optional variables (one filter or another, say); the description above says which.

searchTermString!required
limitInt

Default 10.

Response

What comes back under data: a list shows as one entry, and a value as its type.
