There are times when a dropdown list of items may be helpful in a search page rather than the default search magnifying glass.

1. Navigate to System Administration > Configuration > "Search Selectors" >
2. Locate the desired search selector you would like to update >
3. At the bottom of the selector, there is code that can be updated to make the change >
4. Change the "dropDownEnabled=false" to "dropDownEnabled=true" > Apply Changes.

Please note that the enablement of this configuration may affect the performance. If you have a huge number of entities to which you have "dropDownEnabled=true", the system will take longer to load pages related to this entity creation or edit.

Don't make this change if you have a large number of users/items, it will directly impact the performance.

For further guidance on the search selector changes, please reach out to the SAP team that delivers professional services (KBA 2149831).
