Before you begin

You must be using Next Experience UI.

Role required: workspace_admin

About this task

The preview limit for a search application specifies how many preview results can appear for each search source on the search results page. By default, the system displays up to 5 preview results per search source. Workspace administrators can override this default limit separately for global search and for all workspace searches.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the Workspace Global Search Configuration [sys_aw_global_search_config] table's list view.

    1. Select All.

    2. In the Filter field, enter sys_aw_global_search_config.list.

    3. Press Enter.

  2. Open the configuration record for the search application that you want to modify the preview limit for:

    • To modify the preview limit for global search, open the Now Experience Search Configuration record.
    • To modify the preview limit for a workspace application, open the Workspace search settings record.
    • On the Workspace Global Search Configuration form, enter your desired preview limit into the Tab overview items per section field, then select Update.

Result

The search results page for global or workspace search displays preview results up to the new limit for each search source.
