Does anyone know why certain records show up as links in saved search results while others do not. I have a user asking for a custom record to show up as a link, but it just shows as plain text on the saved search results.If I visit the record page that I am 'searching' on, the custom record in question does show as a link - just not on the saved search results... appreciate any insights?

Is the custom field that references the custom record set to be a list populated by the custom record type?

no it references a custom record... this record also references a few NS basic records such as items and transactions and those show up as links just fine.

ok, so there's only one way I know how to make this work and that's to construct a URL in a text formula field that points to the custom record
Here's an example. We use a custom record for cargo containers and to create a link in a saved search the formula looks like this:
'<a href="https://<companyID>.||app.netsuite.com/app/common/custom/custrecordentry.nl?rectype=19&amp;id='||{custcol_zu_tk_container.internalid}||'">'||{custcol_zu_tk_container}||'</a>'
The saved search results look like this
