			// search later, showing an error message, throwing script exceptions, etc.
			Interface.Log("WaybillTracker:: ERROR during async object search");
			m_bIsThreadedFunctionRunning = false;
			return;
			}

			// Get the search results
			NamedObjectInfo[] results = searchObj.GetResults();

			// TODO: Add any processing of the results here
			string successmsg = "WaybillTracker:: Size of results of async object search" + results[0].localisedUsername;

			Interface.Log(successmsg);
			m_bIsThreadedFunctionRunning = false;
			}

			NamedObjectInfo[] contains 4 properties:
			GameObject objectRef; Holds reference to object 'IF' loaded. Reference may go out of scope and be lost, for long term storge GameObjectId should be used. A call to Router.DoesGameObjectStillExist() should be called before accessing the GameObject reference.
			GameObjectId objectId; Currently the safest to use for long term storage of objects. May be subject to change in the future.
			string localisedUsername; Localized display name for the object.
			string categoryString; The asset category of the current object.
