## Configure search settings for your PCF - SIL User Picker custom field
When created, the PCF - SIL User Picker custom field comes with two default searchers: **SIL User Picker** and **Group Searcher**. Together, they filter users according to your configured SIL script.
- When using the SIL User Picker and Group Searcher in the search interface (issue navigator), the available user options are determined by the SIL script defined in your field's global configuration.
- If your SIL script uses issue-specific variables (such as project, key, assignee, or reporter), you must use the standard User Picker and Group Searcher instead. Otherwise, you won't be able to select values for filtering.
1. Locate your PCF - SIL Script Custom Field on the **Custom fields** page and click **Edit details**.
2. Select a **Search Template **compatible with your field's return value type.
3. Click **Update**.
> ✅ After the update, reindex your Jira instance to ensure search functionality works correctly.
4. Test the search functionality by performing a search for all issues containing the value you want for that custom field.
> ℹ️ To learn more about the search functionality, see the Jira [Searching for Issues](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Searching+for+Issues) tutorial.
