This data type is a container that stores information about a single indexed object type. Object type information can be used for discovery of searchable data and for creation or validation of object index search strings. Each of these containers holds a collection of <b>[SoftLayer_Container_Search_ObjectType_Property](/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Container_Search_ObjectType_Property)</b> objects, specifying which object properties are exposed for the current user. Refer to the the documentation for the <b>[SoftLayer_Search::search](/reference/services/SoftLayer_Search/search)</b> method for information on using object types in search strings.
