How is the "List Search" (magnifying glass) preference remembered?

[krempe]

If you access a list view such as Contract Management -> Maintenance a list is rendered. If you toggle the List Search icon (use magnifying glass next to gear) the search fields under the columns will be displayed, the system "remembers" the setting i.e. on or off if you leave and come back to the list.     Much like the User Preference settings tabbed.forms   and rowcount (from Show option) preferences are "remembered".     I cant find a User Preference or system property that controls this setting for toggling the List Search.   We recently upgraded from Eureka patch 1 to Eureka Patch 10 and have lost this functionality in several list modules we created in-house. Specifically a new table. The functionality continues to work for the out of the box Contract Management -> Maintenance/Leases/etc at the table level i.e. any list from ast_conracts, so I suspect it may be a table level control.     It does not appear to be set in List Controls.   Does anyone have any advice or direction?

thanks, Ken

Hi Mike, thanks for the reply.   The System UI > Lists entries "remember" the user Personalized List (Gear Icon) settings; The columns and order (position) of the users list.   I don't see where the Search List icon (magnifying glass) status (on/off (true/false)) is kept.

Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing?

With and With Out the Search List icon (magnifying glass) "enabled" (i.e. the search fields present and not present).     The system remembers whether the search fields were on or off when you leave and come back to the list.
