Setting Search Preferences in Siebel Open UI

You can set search preferences to configure search results, such as the number of result records displayed on each page, and the default sort mechanism. Search preferences are applied only to Search operations, and are not applied to Find operations. After configuring the search preferences you must log back into the Siebel application for the preferences to take effect.
