When using variables in saved searches, what must they be surrounded by?

In NetSuite saved searches, variables are surrounded by curly braces. This syntactical requirement allows the system to recognize the variable as a placeholder that will dynamically insert the corresponding values when the search is executed. Curly braces indicate that the content within is not static text but rather a reference to a variable that can change depending on the context of the search or the data being queried.

For instance, a saved search might include a dynamic filter where you want the user to input a specific date range. By enclosing the variable in curly braces, you facilitate the customization and flexibility needed for different search scenarios. This usage is crucial for building effective and reusable searches, enhancing both efficiency and user experience in data retrieval within NetSuite.
