<p>Extends the name search feature to use additional, more relaxed matching
methods, and to allow searching into configurable additional record
fields.</p>
<p>The name search is the lookup feature to select a related record. For
example, selecting a Customer on a new Sales order.</p>
<p>For example, typing “john brown” doesnt match “John M. Brown”. The
relaxed search also looks up for records containing all the words, so
“John M. Brown” would be a match. It also tolerates words in a different
order, so searching for “brown john” also works.</p>
<p><img alt="image0" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/server-tools/11.0/base_name_search_improved/images/image0.png" /></p>
<p>Additionally, an Administrator can configure other fields to also lookup
into. For example, Customers could be additionally searched by City or
Phone number.</p>
<p><img alt="image2" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/server-tools/11.0/base_name_search_improved/images/image2.png" /></p>
<p>How it works:</p>
<p>Regular name search is performed, and the additional search logic is
only triggered if not enough results are found. This way, no overhead is
added on searches that would normally yield results.</p>
<p>But if not enough results are found, then additional search methods are
tried. The specific methods used are:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Try regular search on each of the additional fields</li>
<li>Try ordered word search on each of the search fields</li>
<li>Try unordered word search on each of the search fields</li>
</ul>
<p>All results found are presented in that order, hopefully presenting them
in order of relevance.</p>

<p>The fuzzy search is automatically enabled on all Models. Note that this
only affects typing in related fields. The regular <tt class="docutils literal">search()</tt>, used in
the top right search box, is not affected.</p>
<p>Additional search fields can be configured at Settings &gt; Technical &gt;
Database &gt; Models, using the “Name Search Fields” field.</p>

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#toc-entry-2">Usage</a></h2>

<li>Also use fuzzy search, such as the Levenshtein distance:
<a class="reference external" href="https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/fuzzystrmatch.html">https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/fuzzystrmatch.html</a></li>
<li>The list of additional fields to search could benefit from caching,
for efficiency.</li>
<li>This feature could also be implemented for regular <tt class="docutils literal">search</tt> on the
<tt class="docutils literal">name</tt> field.</li>
<li>While adding m2o or other related field that also have an improved
name search, that improved name search is not used (while if
name_search is customizend on a module and you add a field of that
model on another model it works ok). Esto por ejemplo es en productos
si agregamos campo “categoría pública” y a categoría pública le
ponemos “parent_id”. Entonces vamos a ver que si buscamos por una
categoría padre no busca nada, en vez si hacemos esa lógica en
name_search de modulo si funciona</li>
