# isIndexed

A Boolean value that indicates whether the receiver should be indexed for searching.

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

## Discussion

<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> if the receiver should be indexed for searching, otherwise <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>. Object stores can optionally use this information upon store creation for operations such as defining indexes.

### Special Considerations

Setting this property raises an exception if the receiver’s model has been used by an object graph manager.
