Add custom field searchable on contact record using active search

[mmartelli0803]

Is it possible to add a custom field to this active search box on the contacts page?

Hi @mmartelli0803,

As far as I know there aren't any out of the box options for this search but as @kvlschaefer has pointed out, this can be done via API.

You can also, with an Enterprise subscription, create up to three searchable properties in your HubSpot account that can then be searched via the global search bar.

When you edit a property in the property settings, see the checkbox below:

If you want to stay within the contact index page, then you'd have to use the More filters option for search, by selecting a specific property and adding a filter.

Hope this helps!

Hi @mmartelli0803,

Thanks for reaching out! 

It is possible to update the properties used in the search box through the searchableProperties parameter in the API. You can use the Update a schema patch request (detailed information on the API found here). The parameter used to update should be the "searchableProperties".

Best,

Kristen
