Administrators can customize Next Experience search settings. Add new searchable tables, modify the fields displayed for search results from a table, or add workspace applications to the search context menu for users.
Next Experience search is enabled by default in the Unified Navigation.

## Add a searchable table {#configuring-search-next-experience__section_fc5_y32_xrb}

A search source specifies a table to include in Next Experience search. The search results page displays matching records and their counts on a per-table basis. Users can select a table to filter their search results, displaying only matching records from the
selected table.

<br />

To make a table searchable in Next Experience, add it as a new search source. For details on this procedure, see [Add a search source for Next Experience](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=search-settings-filter-group-table&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).

For the list of tables searchable by default in the base system, see [Default global search sources for Next Experience](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=search-settings-filter-group-table&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).

## Modify the fields displayed for each search result from a table {#configuring-search-next-experience__section_vnv_k4f_xrb}

The text_search list view for a searchable table determines which fields the system uses to populate the title, field list, and description for each result from that table.

<br />

To learn how the system uses fields in the text_search list view to populate search result entries, see [Text search views control format of global search results for tables](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=text-search-view-formats-results&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).

For the list of fields included in the base system's text_search list views for the default searchable tables, see [Default display fields for global search tables](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=global-search-default-tables&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).

## Add a workspace application to the search context menu {#configuring-search-next-experience__section_hkn_x32_xrb}

The search context menu enables users to view and open search results in available workspace applications as well as in global search.

<br />

To add a workspace application to the search context menu, see [Add a workspace application to the Unified Navigation search context menu](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=add-app-search-context-polaris-ui&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).

For details on using the search context menu, see [View and open search results using workspace applications in Next Experience
Unified Navigation](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=global-search-polaris-ui&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).
For more information on configuring search settings in Next Experience, see [Global search finds records from multiple tables](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_GlobalTextSearch&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).
