This article explains how to hide an app from appearing in Quickbase app search results.
Hiding an app from search results is useful when you have an app that you want to share with a lot of people, but you don't want it discovered by everyone.
For example, let's say you created an app to manage your company's volunteer program. A lot of people from your company participate, but not everyone. There's no existing Quickbase group of volunteers, so the easiest way to grant volunteers access is to share the app with your entire company, and email the application's URL only to volunteers. But when you do that, your application may show up whenever anyone from your company conducts a Quickbase application search. To keep it out of sight, hide the application from Quickbase search.
Hiding an application also works if you've shared an application with everyone on the Internet for convenience.
