So I've come across a requirement which require us to set the Account OWD to private, but users still need to be able to search for an account so that they know if it exists in the org or not. Kind of like how the duplicate rule works where you cannot actually see the account which is the duplicate, but you know that it's there.
Any ideas of how I could achieve this (if possible)?
I've been thinking about having to build some custom search with LWC/APEX but it would be nice to avoid that and evaluate other options :)
Thanks
