# TODO: Show how to configure a SearchIO stream so that it generates # GenericResult objects.

This object is an implementation of the Bio::Search::Result::ResultI interface and provides a generic place to store results from a sequence database search.

Unless you're writing a parser, you won't ever need to create a GenericResult or any other ResultI-implementing object. If you use the SearchIO system, ResultI objects are created automatically from a SearchIO stream which returns Bio::Search::Result::ResultI objects.

For documentation on what you can do with GenericResult (and other ResultI objects), please see the API documentation in Bio::Search::Result::ResultI.

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.
