Are there limitations to the capabilities of a search app with respect to Event Actions? In this example, I have a Mini-App, for instance YYYYYY to search Customers. I call this from XXXXXX in the Search Actions. If, in YYYYY, I put a Logic Block to do certain checks on a Form Init Event, It does not look as if it hits the Logic Block. If I put the Application in a Field action on XXXXX, it triggers the LB.  
So I am asking what the difference is calling an application from a search action as opposed to a field action?

Most search actions are going to standard list views. A standard list view does not run form init logic. So this is not something specific to a search action, that is how all standard list views work. Is they type of your search action a standard app? The only list views where you could run form init would be an advanced list applications with the advanced list form init event.
