# Customize Search Layouts

Search layouts let you determine what users see when Einstein Search returns results. For each unique user profile, you can create search layouts for standard and custom objects, ensuring the layout shows users what’s most relevant to them. Only objects with customizable layouts support profile-specific layouts. The search layout that you configure applies to global and lookup searches.

You can customize search layouts on a per-object basis. Users who don’t have a profile-specific layout assigned to them see the default search results layout. Look at search layout guidelines, limitations, and other layout options for your users.

From the global search bar, the secondary field is beneath the record name and next to the object type. For lookups, it’s below the record name.
