This module allows to search multi value on tree view at once.

Normal Case, you can search value one-by-one on tree view We just add 'value1' -> enter -> add 'value2' -> enter -> add 'value3' -> enter ... BUT If there are many value to search, it take a lot of time many and you can copy value from excel to search value easily.

Note

In case there is spacebar in value, it will multi search mistake

i.e. 3 value is 'value 1', 'value 2' and 'value 3', you will search with {value 1 value 2 value 3} --> it will convert multi value to {value 1 2 3}

auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 13.0

Lets users search several values at once in any Odoo list view by typing them inside curly brackets, instead of adding them one by one.

This module changes how searching works everywhere in Odoo. Normally, when you type a value in the search box of a list view, Odoo looks for records matching that single value, and you must repeat the operation for each additional value.

With this module, you can type several values together inside curly brackets, for example {P00001 P00002 P00003}, and Odoo will return records matching any of those values. This is handy when you copy a list of references from a spreadsheet and want to find them all in one go.

  • The behaviour applies to every model, because the module extends the generic base model used by all Odoo records.
  • It works on list (tree) views, where the search box is available.
  • The search is a "contains" match, so partial values also match.
  • No new menus, buttons, reports or settings are added; the change is invisible except in the search results.

Be careful: values containing spaces are not handled correctly. If your values include spaces, the module may split them into separate words and return wrong results. Also, the curly brackets are required; without them the search behaves as usual.
