When I try to use the below one.

Make sure you have included the 'cq-search' dependency in your project

Why not use QueryBuilder API instead of SimpleSearch?

<dependency><groupId>com.day.cq</groupId><artifactId>cq-search</artifactId><version>5.5.4</version></dependency>

Thanks for your reply.

Dependency is already exist in my POM.xml.

I can import the SimpleSearch class in my code. 

When I try to print  'slingRequest.getResource()' in the console. I can see the object reference.

But when I try with adaptTo(SimpleSearch.class). Here I got a NullpointerException.

FYI, I am using AEM 6.0.

Thanks

do you have a stacktrace in the error.log file?

Can you give me the usecase for adapting SimpleSearch ?
