Describe the difference between SOSL and SOQL.

SOSL searches text across many objects at once. Use it when you know the words but not where they live; use SOQL when you know the object and the fields.

Hands-On Challenge

Create a class ContactAndLeadSearch with a static method searchContactsAndLeads(String name).
Return a list of lists with matching contacts and leads.

List<List<SObject>> found = [FIND :name IN NAME FIELDS RETURNING Contact(FirstName, LastName), Lead(FirstName, LastName)];
