The Custom Matcher form includes information about global search custom matchers defined for AI Search. Use this form when creating a custom matcher to return exact-match results from a specific table and column for search terms matching a regular expression.
For details on creating a global search custom matcher, see [Create a custom search matcher for global search](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/rKA3eFOOIOU7HugdWC43OQ "Customize the global search experience to return exact match search results from a specified table and column (field). You can configure custom search matchers for search terms with prefixes followed by numbers, such as INT470271, or for numeric search terms with delimiter characters, such as 525-326-3827 or 2016/01/08.").

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Name | Unique name for the custom matcher. |
| Regex | Java regular expression pattern that AI Search compares search queries to. When a search query matches this regular expression pattern, the custom matcher triggers and the search only returns results from the specified Table and Column. This field is automatically set when you select Generate Regex. Note: For details on Java regular expression pattern syntax, see [the Javadoc for the java.regex.util.Pattern class](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.base/java/util/regex/Pattern.html). |
| Table name | Table that you want to restrict search matches to when a user search satisfies the custom matcher's Regex regular expression pattern. |
| Application | Application scope for the custom matcher. This field is automatically set. |
| Column | Field from the specified Table that you want to restrict search matches to when a user search satisfies the custom matcher's Regex regular expression pattern. |
| Active | Option to activate the custom matcher. To deactivate the matcher, clear the Active option. |
