lookup search on multiple field

Hi Guys,

 

Presently look up search only searches on standard name field. I want it to be performed on other custom fields along with standard name field. How can i do this?

 

 

Thanks

Hi,

1. Enable Enhanced Lookup for the object which will be searched.

 Setup -> App Setup -> Customize -> Search -> Search Settings -> check 'Enhanced Lookups' checkboxes -> Save

2. Choose Lookup Filter Fields of the object.

 Suppose the object is Account:

 Setup -> App Setup -> Customize -> Accounts -> Search Layouts -> 'Edit' of Lookup Filter Fields -> choose fields you want to use for filtering.

Hey, Thanks for reply

 

 

I did the same. But it didn't work. I want to do it on custom object. Is it limited to standard object only?

 

 

 

Thanks

Hi,

No, it can be used in custom objects.

You mean you don't see the name of your custom object in the Search Settings screen?

 

And just for clarification of the steps for this, here's the help.
