## \[V3 REST API] Search now supports plates

The V3 Search API now supports plate object types. You can include `matrix-plate` and `well-plate` in the `objectTypes` array on the Search request to return matrix plates and fixed (well) plates alongside other supported object types.

This change impacts the v3 REST APIs only (currently in open beta).
