Searchable Fields

Searchable Fields

Hi, our company sells machines and they all have a unique serial number. 

In the account i want to add a field where i can store the serial numbers, sometimes there is one, sometimes there can be as many as 10. 

I need to be able to search the whole database by a single serial number - sometimes i know the serial number but do not know which customer purchased it.

What type of field do i need to add?

thanks!
