Is there documentation/example for creating a search saved object?

I have successfully used the create saved object api to create index pattern.  
But, I can't find any documentation on how the json payload looks like for a search saved object.

I think the easiest way to see the format of the saved search object would be to use the [GET API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/saved-objects-api-get.html) to see the payload for an existing one.
