2. Open the Quick Find View. You can add or remove search columns on the right-hand column under the Find by... heading.

Add/remove search columns under Find by… in the right-hand column of your View canvas.

3. Click the Edit find columns… button at the bottom of the Find by… heading highlighted above. Check the boxes next to the column(s) you want to add. In this example, we are adding Email, Business Phone and Mobile Phone. After selecting these fields, click the Apply button at the bottom.

4. Click Save and Publish when you are back on the View Canvas!
