However, it's important to note that this is done programmatically and not through the NetSuite UI. Here's a basic example of how you might add a column to a saved search in SuiteScript:

javascript
var search = require('N/search');
var mySearch = search.load({
    id: 'customsearch_my_search'
});

// Add a new column
mySearch.columns.push(search.createColumn({
    name: 'custrecord_my_custom_field'
}));

// Run the search
var resultSet = mySearch.run();

In this example,

customsearch_my_search

is the ID of the saved search you're loading, and

custrecord_my_custom_field

is the ID of the custom field you're adding as a column. Remember, this will only affect the search results when you run the search in your script. It will not permanently modify the saved search in the NetSuite UI.
