question not answered - searchRecords error

This  https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/searchrecords-api-returns-4600-response#2266000009029711 was set to "answered" too fast, as noted in my reply, when I copied the the url sample I accidentally replaced ? with &.

I am including the actual call and response  ...I will change the authtoken once this issue is resolved.

https://crm.zoho.com/crm/private/xml/Accounts/searchRecords?authtoken=adfab807ce205dd89121e5ad1c0d92ba&scope=crmapi&criteria=(vendorname:Ray%20Antonelli)

The reply I get is 
  1. <response uri="/crm/private/xml/Accounts/searchRecords">
    1. <error>
      1. <code>4832</code>
      2. <message>API call cannot be completed as the Criteria parameter contains empty field name</message>
      3. </error>
    2. </response>

Please do not close the issue until I can verify that I can access the records.
