Notes about Global Search Auto Suggest
When the Global Search Auto Suggest user preference is enabled, which it is by default, NetSuite suggests matches for the text you enter in the Search field, automatically as you type. You can select from the list of suggested records to go directly to the record you need. The following tips relate to the auto suggest feature:
-
If global search keywords include an extremely large number of matches, a list of suggested matches is not provided, and you are instructed to refine keywords to narrow the search results. If you do not want to refine keywords, you can click Go to return full results.
-
You can scroll through a list box of suggested matches using the mouse, or the up and down arrows, and select from a list using the mouse, Enter, or Tab.
-
You can select from the list, or click the Go button to return a list of all matches.
-
The record type of each suggested match precedes the record’s name.
-
To open a suggested match in view mode, click directly on the record name.
-
To open a suggested match in edit mode, click Edit that appears at right.
-
To open a record in a new tab or window, right-click on the record name or Edit, and choose Open in New Tab or Open in New Window.
-
To open the customer dashboard for a suggested customer record match, click the View Dashboard icon that appears at right.
-
The suggestion box displays a maximum of 10 results. If there are more matches, a Show More Items link is provided that you can click to view all suggested matches.
-
If only one suggested match is returned, by default NetSuite automatically selects that record.
-
If you have enabled the Show List When Only One Result preference on the Analytics tab of Home > Set Preferences, NetSuite does not select a single suggested match automatically.
-
If you do not want a list of suggested matches to appear when you enter keywords in the Search field, you can disable the auto suggest feature by clearing the Global Search Auto Suggest box on the Analytics subtab of Home > Set Preferences.
