How to add custom field in Global search ?

Hi bhavin,

1. Add new file under the custom/Extension/modules/YOUR_MODULE/Ext/Vardefs/customGlobalSearchFields.php directory with the following contents:

<?php

$dictionary['YOUR_MODULE']['fields']['NAME_OF_FIELD_TO_SEARCH']['unified_search'] = true;

ex.

$dictionary['Account']['fields']['accounts_id_c']['unified_search'] = true;

2.Then, you need to add a search definition for the file, which you can specify in the custom/modules/YOUR_MODULE/metadata/SearchFields.php file as shown below :

<?php

$searchFields['YOUR_MODULE']['NAME_OF_FIELD_TO_SEARCH'] = array( 'query_type'=>'default');

For example :

If “$searchFields” array is already available then add below code only :

'accounts_id_c' =>

  array (

    'query_type' => 'default',

  ),
