Enabling Global Search
To enable Global Search, access the General Settings page by selecting PeopleTools, Search Framework, Search Admin Activity Guide, Configuration, Enable Global Search.
On the General Settings page, in the Portal Search Options group box, select Display global search in header.
When Global Search is enabled, the Global Search icon appears in the portal header.
Note: If a user does not have access to any search groups by way of their permissions lists, they will not see the Global Search icon.
In a fluid user interface, Global Search is enabled by default based on three conditions:
At least one search index must be deployed and crawled on the system and this search index is set as a Search Group.
A user accessing global search must have the required permissions for the deployed search index.
A user accessing global search must have access to the Fluid Global Search component.
