# Spotlight integration

Add your entities to your app’s Spotlight index, and automate the indexing of your content.

## Overview

Indexing your app’s content makes that content findable during searches, and also helps Siri
and other system features locate app-specific data. If you create entities for your app’s
data, index those entities as part of your content. When a search finds your content, the
system can use the associated entity to open your app and navigate to that content.

## Topics
