How do I make a custom number field searchable?

I want our custom field for Org ID to be searchable from the main search window. I know that numeric custom fields will not be searchable with the External Id feature. Is there anyway around this? 

 

Thanks!

    Hello Miika,

     

    they is away to do this .

     

    if you have a numeric field that is an External ID it will not be searchable via the advanced search. You could create a text External ID field and then write a workflow that updates this field from the numeric External ID field. This way your external ID is searchable.

     

    Step 1 : Create a text field and enable External ID to it .

     

    Step 2 : Create a workflow and update the text field with the value in Number field and then try to search it will work
