Search Results Table
Advanced and global search results appear under the Search tab in the Navigator. The Search Results table displays all objects returned for your search.
In situations where a search operation returns a large number of objects, you can search within the Search Results table using the toolbar search action. Enter a text fragment into the Search in table field and click the search icon 
. To return the entire results set, remove the text fragment and search again. For more information and tips, see Personalizing Tables and Searching Within Tables.

You can configure the Search Results table columns to fit your needs. However, the options available depend on how many object types are included in the search criteria:
• If your search includes additional attribute values under Criteria, the search table automatically adds a column for each attribute included in the search (if not already included in the default table view).
• You can create a customized table view to include additional attributes. When you search for a single type, all of the attributes related to that type are available to be added as columns to the search results table. For more information, see Customizing Table Views.
• If you select All Types or more than one object type, then the available columns for a custom table view only includes attributes that are common among object types, such as Name, Number, and Last Modified. You cannot add a column to display attributes that are specific to one or more types.

Whether the table refreshes depends on the action. For example, when you perform the Rename action on an object, the table refreshes to display the new object name. However, the table does not refresh after you perform the Revise action on an object. |
