# 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
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
