Configuring Global Search
Civic Platform provides a search engine to find information globally throughout the software. Users enter search criteria and Civic Platform displays results in a global search portlet grouped by information type.
You can configure search to define how many max records return in a global search and how many result rows to display in a group results list page. For example, record result information is grouped together in pages and licensed professional result information is grouped together in pages. Within each group, a user can filter, page through, or sort through the result information.
