I am looking to understand what the global search actually searches. For instance, when I put in a name to the global search, I expect it to return all results with that name contained in it, whether it be a field on the form, in the short description or even a variable on a request. But I do not get that.
When I dig down, I see it is searching a field named "Keywords", where is that? Is there a way I can have the global search actually search the short description, variables, etc?
Solved! Go to Solution.

I know it searches string fields (including HTML.). I don't know about dates, reference fields, etc. I don't see someone searching for a specific sys_id.
You can configure it to search attachments as well.

Hi RamKumar,
Were you able to find solution for your requirement. I have same requirement, If I enter a text in global search and if any matches in configuration field, then search has to return those records.
