Upgrade Considerations
After upgrading to PeopleTools 8.60 and later, you should be aware of the changes on search pages that will occur and follow the guidelines to apply configurable search to components.
On classic components, existing custom search pages with the Standard search page type are not replaced.
For guidelines on using configurable search in classic components, see Guidelines on Using Configurable Search for Classic Components.
On fluid components:
By default, on existing fluid components, the search pages are not replaced with the new fluid search page delivered in PeopleTools 8.60. You should explicitly enable configurable search for fluid components.
The existing custom search pages are not replaced.
By default, new fluid components use the new fluid search page delivered in PeopleTools 8.60.
On a component definition (Fluid tab), you can use the Enable Configurable Search check box to enable or disable configurable search, see Guidelines on Using Configurable Search for Fluid Components, Using the Enable Configurable Search Check Box for Fluid Components.

PeopleTools 8.60 and later supports components that use the HCM delivered configurable search. If you want to use the PeopleTools delivered configurable search for a component (or content reference), you should deactivate the HCM delivered configurable search for that component:
Set the status of search configuration for the component or content reference in the HCM application to inactive.
Navigate to , select the content reference (component), and then remove the event mapping for SearchInit PeopleCode.
When you perform step 1, step 2 may not be necessary. However, it is recommended that administrators ensure that SearchInit PeopleCode for that component is removed by performing step 2.
