Global Search UI

Global Search is the search box at the top of the page in the CX Sales UIs. This feature isn't available in Digital Sales. Here's a summary how global search works and how you can configure it.

How It Works

What You Can Change

When salespeople click in the global search box (callout 1), the application suggests recent search terms, recent pages you visited, and other recent items. The items are organized in suggestions groups (callout 2). For example, under Recent Items, the application suggests recent pages you visited.

  • Change the "Search" prompt in the global search box.

  • Specify which suggestion groups get displayed for users by default. For example, you may want to hide Recent Items and show Recent Searches first.

Salespeople can specify which suggestion categories they want to see and which categories of results are available in the search results, by clicking Personalize (callout 3), the application suggests recent items they worked on recently.

  • Specify which suggestion groups are available for use. For example, instead of hiding Recent Items by default, you may want to remove it from use entirely so users can no longer display the category.

Salespeople enter keywords in the search box (callout 1) and press Return to search across different objects.

  • You can specify which objects are available for global search and how the results are displayed. See the topic Configure Global Search Scope and Display of Search Results
