# Results

Once you have concatenated criterias together, you can execute the query via the execution methods. Please remember that these methods return the results, so they must be executed last.

```javascript
// Get
var results = c.idEq( 4 ).get();

// Listing
var results = c
     .like("name", "lui%")
     .list();

// Count via projections of all users that start with the letter 'L' or 'l' using case-insensitive-like
var count = c.ilike("name","L%").count();
```

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip:** You can call `count()` and `list()` on the same criteria, but due to the internal workings of Hibernate, you must call `count()` first, then `list()`.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://coldbox-orm.ortusbooks.com/v2.x-2/criteria-queries/coldbox-criteria-builder/results.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
