See default searchable objects and fields in your Salesforce org. As you add custom
objects and fields to your Salesforce org, your index changes to reflect which objects and fields
are searchable. Your index is the single source of truth for what’s searchable in your org. You
can manage the search index and apply field-level security to custom fields.

Manage the Search Index View default searchable fields. You can add and remove fields in the search index. For example, if you never want to include certain custom fields in search, remove those fields. Removed fields don’t appear in search results and aren’t used to match results. You can’t remove standard fields.
Field-Level Security for Custom Fields in Search Field-level security specifies whether users in your Salesforce org can view and edit each field in an object. You can configure field-level security settings separately from Einstein Search. Users can search a protected field only if they have the appropriate field permissions. However, search can only protect up to 100 searchable custom fields per object with field-level security, even if you set field-level security for more than 100 custom fields. The search engine matches results based on information in unprotected fields. You can select which custom fields are protected.
Field-Level Security Applied in Search: FAQ Before the Summer 24 release, Salesforce search results sometimes returned unexpected outcomes under certain circumstances due to a limitation in how Search applies Field Level Security. This limitation arises because Search applies Field-Level Security to all standard fields and the first 100 searchable custom fields, but not to custom fields beyond the 100th. Therefore, searches can use these unprotected fields to return results.
