why are my global search results pulling a transaction search?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Your global search results may be pulling a transaction search because of the way NetSuite's global search functionality works. When you perform a global search, NetSuite searches across all record types, including transactions. If the search term you entered matches a transaction number, NetSuite will include that transaction in the search results. In addition, if you have a custom field that is marked for global search and that field contains the search term, NetSuite will also include the records with that custom field in the search results. This is why you might see transactions in your global search results even if you're searching for a term that's in a custom field. Also, the 'GLOBAL SEARCH SORT BY NAME/ID' preference in your local preferences might affect the search results. If this preference is turned on, NetSuite will sort the search results by the name or ID of the records, which might cause transactions to appear at the top of the search results. Please note that the global search functionality in NetSuite has certain limitations. For example, it doesn't show all related records of a transaction when you search for a transaction number. However, you can build a custom search to show these related records and add it to your dashboard for easy access. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
