Adding the service state property to search

Adding a service state property to search is a multi-step process that is split into a series of topics. The service state property example uses the ContactServiceState entity and ServiceState property from the example in Extending contacts with an array.

In this example, you make the new ServiceState property searchable in both ClaimCenter and ContactManager. The property names must match in both applications. Any object you add to the search system must have indexes declared for its fields in ContactManager to make the search reasonably fast. In the example, ContactServiceState does have indexes declared for each of its fields. Without indexes, searching for the object can be slow.
