Question:
What are Considerations When Troubleshooting Salesforce Object Search Language (SOSL) Searches in Salesforce?
Answer:
Considerations:
-
The Overall limit of 2,000 results are returned (current as of Salesforce API v28.0)
-
Performs a search globally. It filters those results based on user permissions.
-
SOSL queries all objects (including custom objects) in an org.
-
Example: Searching [Cl*] might not return Clinton Ackerman depending on the number of records in the org
-
SOSL does not search on the following:
-
Picklists defined as Searchable is False
-
Number fields
-
Date fields
-
Checkbox fields
-
Attachment records associated with another object
