Custom objects for Searching Workflows and Reporting

Hi,
I am building a bunch of custom objects in my application, however I am unable to use the fields in those custom objects for following:

- Searching
- Setting up Workflow rules
- Reporting

Can anybody help me here?

Thanks in advance

:)

Searching: the quick search field on the left of salesforce.com only searches most out-of-the-box fields. If you need to search custom objects or fields, click on the "Advanced Search" link below the quick search field, to search these components. You can create a custom HTML component that specifically searches all custom objects and fields, or a subset of them, if you like.




Workflow: Workflow rules on custom objects is expected in an upcoming release.


Reporting: Custom objects are visible in reporting, as long as you have checked the option to include the custom object in reports, during the configuration of your custom object.
