I am having trouble setting a query property for searchQuery1
I must be a return from a getter() (getSearchQuery())
Is it possible to set this query property using a return from a method?

It seems that the method is set for the query yet the searchList1 needs to be configured.
Does anyone have any insight to setting the binding for the searchQuey and ths searchList?

Is it possible to set this List property using a return from a method?
