Salesforce periodically indexes your unconverted leads to make them searchable. After lead conversion, Salesforce doesn’t index the lead again. If a lead is converted before it’s indexed, or a user updates a lead after conversion, the lead isn’t searchable.

1. From Setup, enter Permission Sets and select **Permission Sets**.
2. Click **New**.
3. Enter a name for the permission set, and then save it.
4. Click **App Permissions**, and then click **Edit**.
5. Under Sales, select the View and Edit Converted Leads permission.
6. Save the permission set.
7. From Setup, enter Users and select **Users**.
8. Select the user that you want to assign the new permission set to.
9. Scroll to the Permission Sets related list and then click **Edit Assignments**.
10. Assign the permission set to the user, and then save your changes.

The location where a converted lead appears depends on the interface that you use.
