I can’t get async search for a smart field.

The code below worked well.

```javascript
search: async (query, search) => {
        const searchCondition = { id: 11 };
        query.where[Sequelize.Op.and][0][Sequelize.Op.or].push(searchCondition);
        return query;
}

```

But it didn’t work for me when I added the code for delaying.

```javascript
search: async (query, search) => {
        await new Promise(resolve => {
          setTimeout(resolve, 10);
        });

        const searchCondition = { id: 11 };
        query.where[Sequelize.Op.and][0][Sequelize.Op.or].push(searchCondition);
        return query;
}

```

Hi @Jose_Vargas welcom to our community 👋 and thank you to use Forest Admin.  
I don’t know what do you want to do, but have a look on this documentation [https://docs.forestadmin.com/woodshop/how-tos/search-on-a-smart-field-with-joints](https://docs.forestadmin.com/woodshop/how-tos/search-on-a-smart-field-with-joints), maybe should be help.  
Let me know.

Thank you for your help @Arnaud_Moncel.

I saw that search supports a promise as a result in the documentation ([https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/fields/create-and-manage-smart-fields](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/fields/create-and-manage-smart-fields)) and just wanted to do some extra works in the search, but it didn’t work for me.

But search-on-a-smart-field-with-joints works for me now.

Thank you!

Hi @Jose_Vargas,

This was a misleading information 🤭, the documentation [has been fixed](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/fields/create-and-manage-smart-fields#searching-sorting-and-filtering-on-a-smart-field) ≈30 minutes ago thanks to your feedback! 🙏
