Search Tab Configuration
You can use the Search Tab Settings page to set up the search tabs that you want to view in the Search Results page.
You can create search tabs to save the search filter criteria. After you create a search tab, you can edit the search tab properties in the Search Tab Properties section. The search tab properties include the name of the search tab, filters used to create the search tab, users and groups that have permission to view the search tabs, asset owners of the selected filter options, and order of the search tab in the Search Results page.
An administrator who creates a search tab can edit the search tab. You might want to edit the search tab to change the name of the search tab, select or clear search filters for the search tab, and revise the view permissions for the search tab. You can edit search tabs that you create, but not the default search tabs. You cannot edit multiple search tabs at the same time.
You can also delete search tabs that you no longer use. When you delete a search tab, you delete the search filter settings along with the search tab. You can delete search tabs that you create, but not the system search tabs. You can simultaneously delete multiple search tabs.
Alternatively, you can perform this task using the REST APIs. For more information, see the
