Remarks

The Query class is not intended to be used directly from your code, but is designed to be the base implementation for the SharePoint Server 2013 Query object model classes.

Instead, you should use the KeywordQuery class to run keyword syntax or FAST Query Language (FQL) search queries.

Thread safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
