add custom fields in general search

[vcobos]

Hi all,

I have been looking in the forum and i have not found (or i couldnt see) the answer of my question.

Im creating fields in the contacts modules, but all of these new fields are not recognized for the general search (top-right hand side) when a search is realised (even not with %).

i.e:

-->field with the default name: the general search find the field
-->field XXXX created: the general search does not find the field.

Im looking in diff files (unified_search_modules or vardefs) but im not having good luck. Could somebody help me?

Thank you very much,

Regards,

This is not upgrade safe for time being it will be useful,hope wen u repair and rebuild in cache\modules\unified_search_modules.php wont get any effect
*This is my documentation as wen i had this type of error i followed this process

Global Search : if we are searching with email id the data is not displaying from the modules
Solution :
1. cache\modules\unified_search_modules.php –this is the file which is used for searching the data in the globalsearch
2. if your field is there in this file –you will get the result
3. if we are writing code[adding your field] here directly its not upgrade safe
4. In My Situtaion I had used this for email field of Accounts, Contacts module not displaying while searching
I added the Code as :
'email_address' =>
array (
//'vname' => 'LBL_PHONE_ALT',
'type' => 'varchar',
),
5. htdocs\Sugarcrm\modules\Home\UnifiedSearchAdvanced .php –add below code in this file path
elseif($field == 'email_address') {
$clause = "(({$unified_search_modules[$name]['table']}.id IN (SELECT eabr.bean_id FROM email_addr_bean_rel eabr JOIN email_addresses ea ON (ea.id = eabr.email_address_id) WHERE eabr.deleted=0 and ea.email_address LIKE '{$_REQUEST['query_string']}%')))";
//echo $clause;echo "email";die();
//end allow for search by email address

}
