Hi Partner,

You need edit columns of the account table's Quick Find View.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/configure-relevance-search-organization#select-searchable-fields-and-filters-for-each-table

The Find Columns on a Quick Find View define the searchable fields in the Dataverse search index. Text fields such as Single Line of Text and Multiple Lines of Text, Lookups, and Option Sets are searchable. Find Columns of all other data types are ignored.

The View Columns on a Quick Find View define the fields that are displayed in model-driven apps' search results page when the matched results are returned.

Quick Find Active Accounts view

Currently OOB can't show more than two fields:

1)one column is the default column which is nothing but a Primary column of a table;

2)the Secondary column will choose based on the table’s quick find view, it is always the first non-primary column on the table’s quick find view that contains data.

3)The search column contains the searched values and will replace the other columns in the second column.

I hope you can mark my answer verified if it is helpful! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Leah

You mention "one column is the default column which is nothing but a Primary column of a table". Is there any way to control which column is the "Primary"? Thanks

@jdpottle, the primary column on a table is static and cannot be changed. This is almost always the [Name] column in CRM.

You cannot change the primary column used in search results , this is by design.
The primary column always appears as the first column because it serves as the main reference value for the record. This is the value shown in lookups and used to quickly identify the record.

The next two columns in the search results come from the Quick Find view, in the order they defined there. These provide additional details to help identify the record. This ensures consistency and makes it easier to recognize and select records across the system.

Leah Ju explained it well , if this satisfy all your query , please mark this question as answered.
