# supportsStringSearchRequest

A Boolean value that indicates whether the provider supports search.

```
var supportsStringSearchRequest: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

If this value is `true`, the framework uses the extension’s [`NSFileProviderSearching`](/documentation/FileProvider/NSFileProviderSearching) implementation to support search.

The property defaults to `false` (Swift) or `NO` (Objective-C).
