# Lobby.GetSearchProperties method

Get the dictionary of search property keys and values

```csharp theme={null}
public IDictionary<string, string> GetSearchProperties()
```

## Return Value

The dictionary of search property keys and values

## Remarks

Search properties are visible to nonmembers of the lobby as metadata, which can be used to filter and sort lobby search results.

This constructs a new Dictionary upon each API call so it shouldn't be called with high frequency

If this lobby object is still in the process of asynchronously being created or joined via a call to [`CreateAndJoinLobby`](/services/playfab/multiplayer/lobby/unity-multiplayer-api-reference/PlayFab.Multiplayer/PlayFabMultiplayer/CreateAndJoinLobby) or [`JoinLobby`](/services/playfab/multiplayer/lobby/unity-multiplayer-api-reference/PlayFab.Multiplayer/PlayFabMultiplayer/JoinLobby), this method returns no keys.
