11/01/2023, 11:14 PMThere is no dupe check validation for search names as far as I know. Dupe check is for any specific record types, and search is a bunch of queries 🙂

11/01/2023, 11:19 PMQuick check and @Sam-I-Am is correct. If I create a new Saved Search and use a previous name it saves it Ok. Same name, same Search Type etc... Only difference is the ID.

11/01/2023, 11:27 PMI have definitely seen a message saying something like “search name must be unique” before
jen
11/01/2023, 11:28 PMI got the message right before posting … of course now I’m not sure how I did it
jen
11/01/2023, 11:30 PMhas to be saved as public search

11/01/2023, 11:33 PMLook at the ID between the search

jen
11/01/2023, 11:33 PMwell this is inconsistent. Try to make search with same name, set as public — get error
jen
11/01/2023, 11:33 PMtry to make search with same name, not public - lets you save
jen
11/01/2023, 11:33 PMYes I know the IDs are different
jen
11/01/2023, 11:33 PMbut that’s not what people use in Global Search
jen
11/01/2023, 11:34 PMedit existing “duplicate” search and you can set it from private to public
jen
11/01/2023, 11:34 PMthen BOOM you have two public searches with identical names….
jen
11/01/2023, 11:34 PMno bueno

11/01/2023, 11:34 PMIf you use more than one language, you can have two Public Saved Searches with the same name, but one of the translated names is not the same as the other saved search 🙂

jen
11/01/2023, 11:35 PMwe literally have two public searches with exactly the same name. Probably cuz someone created it as private (which allowed name reuse) THEN changed it to public
jen
11/01/2023, 11:35 PMonly one language

jen
11/01/2023, 11:37 PMI know it doesn’t normally allow same name for me, because for SOME reason the “default” name it puts in for transaction searches for us (which is currently
Custom Transaction Search 6jen
11/01/2023, 11:38 PMit’s effing infuriating
jen
11/01/2023, 11:38 PMWHY does it default to a name I cannot use, I don’t know

11/01/2023, 11:39 PMI don't like bugs, inconsistencies and edge cases, but love to know about them. "It's not me, its NetSuite itself"

11/02/2023, 12:05 AMI have a punch line " if NetSuite was called NutSuite then the saved search is the Nut cracker" one of punch line from my Suiteworld presentation.
