Dynamics 365 App for Outlook: How to add a standard entity to the list of entites for "Set regarding"

If i click the magnifying glass icon next to "Look for records" under "Set regarding", i'm taken to the following view: https://imgur.com/a/eQSJkZj

How do i add an entity to the list of entities shown? I want to add the standard entity "Quotes" so that i can add such an entity to Set regarding. I also want to change the order by which these entities are displayed, so that this entity is the first shown, before "Contacts".

How can i accomplish this?

Thanks in advance.
