The FindCustomerByCustomTag function is used to to find one or more existing customers using a custom tag.
The custom tag you must specify consists of the tag name and value. You must give the entire custom tag name exactly as it exists in LAC. The custom tag value can be a partial entry (for example, to find all customers that include a tag value "NewCustomer" you could enter only "New") and is case-insensitive (for example, "NEW" and "new" are interpreted as the same entries).
This function also uses an offset and requires a login token, which is obtained using the Login function.
Return values
The response is of the type Soap_Response_List_Customer, with result_array of type ArrayOfSoap_Customer.
