Hi DS,
You can make changes to default search property of service portal by passing the sys_id of your table in Value and try again.
Property to modify is below:
glide.service_portal.default_search_sources
Note : Since there is only one search source (table) that's y i suggested this.
Go through below link :
https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/london-servicenow-platform/page/build/service-portal/concept/default-search-sources.html
Mark my ANSWER as CORRECT and HELPFUL if it helped.

Hi,
I have added the custom table in Search Sources under service portal, but is just showing the table name in the list on portal when I search the records with message "did not match any documents". It is working for OOB tables not for the custom tables. Do we have do anything else for custom tables.
