How to do it utilizing code:
var request = new OrganizationRequest("SaveEntityGroupConfiguration"); //create a new QuickFindCofigurationCollection var qfCollection = new QuickFindConfigurationCollection(); //add the entities you want to include in Global Search qfCollection.Add(new QuickFindConfiguration("contact")); qfCollection.Add(new QuickFindConfiguration("incident")); //set the parameters for the request. It took several hours and digging through the //CRM Sdk dlls to find the EntityGroupName for this. request.Parameters["EntityGroupName"] = "Mobile Client Search"; request.Parameters["EntityGroupConfiguration"] = qfCollection; var response = _serviceProxy.Execute(request);
