+## Requiring resources to opt in to global search
+
+By default, all resources with a [title attribute](#setting-global-search-result-titles) are included in global search results. If you'd prefer resources to explicitly opt in, you can use the `globalSearchResourceOptIn()` method in the [configuration](../panel-configuration):
+
+```php
+use Filament\Panel;
+
+public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
+{
+    return $panel
+        // ...
+        ->globalSearchResourceOptIn();
+}
+```
+
+Now, only resources that explicitly set `$isGloballySearchable` to `true` will be included in global search results:
+
+```php
+protected static bool $isGloballySearchable = true;
+```
+
+Resources that do not declare this property will be excluded from global search, even if they have a title attribute set.
+
 ## Registering global search key bindings
 
 The global search field can be opened using keyboard shortcuts. To configure these, pass the `globalSearchKeyBindings()` method to the [configuration](../panel-configuration):
