Hi @karthick1356,

Please follow steps described under Adobe documentation - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/assets/administer/search-facets.html?l...

In general, you have to:

1. Navigate to Tools -> General -> Search Forms.
2. Select Assets Admin Search Rail  from list and click edit.
3. Set your changes and save.

Your customization will be stored under /conf/global/settings/dam/search/facets/assets/jcr:content/items - so this is part of content you can move to your git repository or include into crx package to propagate changes into other environments.

You can also find some examples under this thread https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/how-to-create-custom-searc...
