Salesforce objects often include one or more lookup fields that allow users to associate two records together in a relationship. For example, a contact record includes an
Account lookup field that represents the relationship between the contact and the organization with which the contact is associated. A lookup search dialog helps you search for the record associated with the one being edited. Lookup filter fields allow you to filter your lookup search by a customized list of fields in the object.

Search Layouts related list on the object detail page in the application user interface. For more information, see
“Standard and Enhanced Lookups in Salesforce Classic” in the Salesforce online help.
