Universal Search

Question

Sign in to vote

the search in MS CRM seems just terrible. It seems to only search a single entity at a time, and even then hides a bunch of stuff. Is there any sort of "single search box" / "universal search" for CRM? I would like to type in search terms and get any leads, opportunities, contracts, accounts, etc etc.

The enterprise search accelerator uses the SharePoint search to achieve this result.

Hi, Max.

There are no such functionality InBox... But you can write custom aspx page which will execute search as you like and show results in format you like.

Almost anyway. It doesn't search the Knowledge Base. Gotta love it.

Anyway, doesn't anybody write a decent search for CRM? A database without a search, what are they thinking?

One of our folks just wrote a short blog about our global search component.
