Standard behavior in advanced search for one2many, many2many and many2one fields is to do a name_search. This often is not satisfactionary as you might want to search for other properties. There might also be cases where you don't exactly know what you're searching for, then a list of possible options is necessary too. This module enables you to have a full search view to select the record in question, and either select specific records or select them using a search query of its own.
To use this module, you need to:
- open the advanced search options in a search view
- select a one2many, many2many or many2one field
- select operator is equal to or is not equal to
- the textfield changes to a many2one selection field where you can search for the record in question
To search for properties of linked records (ie invoices for customers with a credit limit higher than X):
- open the advanced search options in a search view
- select a one2many, many2many or many2one field
- select operator is in selection
- in the search view that pops up, select the criteria
- click Use criteria
- if you're only interested in certain records, mark them en click Select
- if you want to change your selection afterwards, click the search symbol right of the selection term
In both cases, don't forget to click Apply to actually execute the search.
Note that you can stack searching for properties: Simply add another advanced search in the selection search window. You can do this indefinetely, so it is possible to search for moves belonging to a journal which has a user who is member of a certain group etc.
