About this task

ServiceNow provides pre-defined additional resource or search sources to the user. You can't create or delete search result display configurations. Each table referred by an additional resource has a search result display configuration record. You can edit the values in the Card title field, Card description field, and the Card additional fields.

Note:

Ensure that you select the contextual search property Shows meta data on form contextual search results to view Card additional fields in the search result.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Contextual Search > Search Result Display Configurations.
2. Open the search result display configuration record that you want to modify.
   Note:

   Search result display configuration records with the Platform UI type do not affect search for Knowledge articles, Catalog Items, or pinned articles. You can configure settings for platform Knowledge article searches using Knowledge search properties.
