Use Type Ahead Search | Enables type ahead search. This option invokes a panel listing the results of what the user types into the search box, allowing them to click one of the results. |
Search all full-text indexed fields | Only searches in full-text indexed fields. This option is checked by default and enables you to use Partial word results. |
Partial word results |

Search primary display fields only |
Limits the search to only the primary display field (as opposed to all full-text indexed fields). Use this option only if the search freezes due to an excessive number of records. Note that the results from this search option will be different from the list results. |
Do not sort |
