Searchable Setup Objects

Use global search in Setup to find specific setup records, such as the Lead Source picklist or the Sales Rep profile. Global search differs from Quick Find, which finds pages within the Setup menu, such as Account Settings or Profiles.

In Setup, enter a name, and select the in Setup option in instant results or press Enter. When you search in Setup, using certain key words includes results from related searches. For example, when you search Record Types or Search Layouts, you also see results for Object Manager.

Top Results includes results from the Setup object pages you use most frequently. See results for a specific object by clicking the object’s name on the left side of the page, under Search Results.

The following Setup objects are always shown in search results. You can’t customize the order.
