Global search finds records from multiple tables
Search multiple record types from a single search field.
To perform a global search, perform one of the following actions based on your UI version.
| UI version | Action |
|---|---|
| Next Experience UI | Enter your search terms in the Unified Navigation search field, then select View results or press Enter. |
| Core UI | Select the search icon in the banner on the upper right of the System settings for the user interface (UI) , then enter your search terms and press Enter. |
All UI versions also have a global search keyboard shortcut. The ui_global_text_search UI Macro provides the global search field.
For a list of search source tables that the system searches by default, along with steps for adding new search source tables, see Default global search sources for Next Experience UI and Default global text search groups for Core UI.
Global search supports Boolean operators, quoted phrases, and wildcard characters. For details on these search features, see Boolean operators allow conditional search results, Quotation marks allow exact phrase searches, and Wildcard characters allow searching for patterns and variations.
