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

Support
Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
bioperl-l@bioperl.org
rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will
be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description
of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.
