# foundryts.search.Property

## *class* foundryts.search.Property(name, property\_type, field, should\_normalize=False, force\_analyze=False)

A FoundryTS wrapper for an Ontology object property.

This class is used internally for evaluating [`Search`](../search-search/index.md) queries. As a result of
[`ontology()`](../search-ontology/index.md#foundryts.search.ontology), instances of [`Property`](#foundryts.search.Property) will be evaluated for [`Search`](../search-search/index.md) expressions.

* **Parameters:**
  * **name** ([*str*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str)) – Name of the Ontology object property.
  * **property\_type** ([*type*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#type)) – The type of values in the property as a Python time. Review corresponding supported types in the
    [↗ Platform documentation](../../object-link-types/properties-overview/index.md#supported-property-types).
  * **should\_normalize** ([*bool*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool) *,* *optional*) – Whether to normalize the name of the Ontology property. (default is False).
  * **force\_analyze** ([*bool*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool) *,* *optional*) – (DEPRECATED) Whether to reference raw properties. (default is False).
