Hi @demoduffer
I tested it with Incident, and it is working fine. However, it is returning a large number of results.

Hi @demoduffer
Refer this post : https://www.servicenow.com/community/community-central-forum/quot-search-global-quot-is-not-working-...
and follow the solution step
"performed re-indexing the Record's table by navigating to the Collection Dictionary record for the Record table and
clicking on "Generate Text Index" and same with Group table."
