I'm trying to make a list of all the game's containers. for the sake of this question, a "container" is any object where the reticle tip says "[E] Search" in the English localization; and which isn't a corpse (and corpses are anything which is included in "consolidate area loot", so rats, spiders, crawlers etc are corpses too).
So far I have the following. For translation, knowing locations is super important! The only way to translate them is ot walk up to them in the game and look at them in a different language. So please let me know if you know where to find any where the locations are undocumeted!

I can think of a few possible others.
- I've seen, near beaches, lines of fish hanging out to dry, which are sometimes searchable... but I can't remember where I've seen them.
- There are the harvestables, including the weird DLC ones in Clockwork City and Blackreach (I checked them: they're all "Collect", "Chop", "Mine", etc: no "Search" items).
- There are some unusual ones, like the rubble piles that you search for antiquities, loose tiles that things can be hidden in... maybe some other items?
- Unlocked chests are "Use", rather than "Search", as are many searchable quest targets.
- What am I missing?
- Are there strange objects in the DLCs that I'm not thinking of?
What about in OTHER languages? Are there any items in another language which have the same 'container-style' verb as sacks and crates, but don't in English?
