In the context of a quote or order, the administrator needs to include a Product2 custom field for search. What should the administrator do to…

To make a custom field on the Product2 object searchable within the context of a quote or order in Salesforce Revenue Cloud (specifically Industries CPQ), the administrator must configure the search index. This is accomplished via the "Index and Search Configuration" page. The administrator selects the Product2 object, marks the desired custom field as searchable, and then initiates the "Rebuild Index" job. This process updates the search index to include the data from the new field, making it available for queries performed during product selection.

A. Add Product2 custom field as a new filter option in the Browse Catalog list view.

This action adds a filter for users to narrow results based on specific values, but it does not make the field's content searchable via the main search bar.

C. Modify the Discover Products screen flow to add the Product2 custom field on the product list page container component.

This modifies the user interface to display the custom field's value in the search results but does not configure the backend search engine to query the field itself.

1. Salesforce Help, Industries CPQ Developer Guide, "Enable Search for Custom Fields": This document explicitly outlines the procedure. It states, "To enable search for custom fields, you must add them to the list of searchable fields for the appropriate object, and then run the process to rebuild the search index." It then details the steps:

Navigate to the Index and Search Configuration page.

Select the Product2 object.

Move the desired custom field to the "Searchable Fields" list.

Run the Rebuild Index job.

2. Salesforce Help, Industries CPQ Developer Guide, "Rebuild the Product Search Index": This guide confirms the necessity of the rebuild step. It specifies, "After you make changes to the product data or to the search configuration, you must rebuild the product search index... Go to the Index and Search Configuration page and click Rebuild Index." This ensures that any configuration changes, such as adding a new searchable field, are applied.
