Find Information Faster with a More Prominent and Simplified Search Bar<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The newly designed search bar, placed prominently in the header, ensures immediate visibility and accessibility. By defaulting to navigation mode, users can quickly locate menus, components, and pages without having to switch contexts, saving valuable time and effort.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Easily Revisit Previously Accessed Pages Through Organized and Manageable Suggestions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With segmented search suggestions, users can effortlessly return to recently visited pages. The list is intuitively organized, featuring up to five items under \u201cRecently Visited,\u201d and provides convenient options like \u201cSee More,\u201d delete (\u201cX\u201d) individual items, or clear the entire list\u2014enabling users to keep their search history clean and relevant.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Switch Search Categories Seamlessly Without Losing Context<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Users no longer need to leave their current workflow to switch between search categories. The intuitive \u201cSee All\u201d and \u201cSee Less\u201d links allow for on-the-fly toggling between views, making it easier to explore different areas of the application while staying focused on the task at hand.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Enable Tailored Search Experiences Through Administrator Settings<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Administrators have increased flexibility to customize the search experience for their organizations. From configuring how many recently visited items appear to rearranging category sequences in line with organizational priorities, the new configuration tools ensure that search behaves in a way that best supports users\u2019 needs and business processes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Bottom Line: Powering Smarter Navigation with Kovaion<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With the release of Oracle PeopleSoft 8.62, the evolution of Global Search is a clear step toward enhancing user productivity and application usability.
