Odoo's default search bar is rather narrow, which causes it to grow vertically when applying a lot of filters. For small screens this can be a problem as it wastes a lot of space. This addon addresses this issue by growing the search bar to the whole width of the screen, moving it below the breadcrumb. A side effect of this is that the breadcrumb can also use the full screen width, which makes it reasonable not to cut off titles after 7 characters.
The result looks like this:
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0Makes the Odoo search bar span the full width of the screen and moves it below the breadcrumb, so filters no longer stack vertically and waste space on small screens.
This module changes the layout of the search bar in the Odoo backend. Instead of the narrow search bar that grows taller as you add filters, the search bar is stretched to the entire width of the screen and placed underneath the breadcrumb (the trail of links showing where you are).
- The change applies everywhere in the backend where a search bar appears, such as list, kanban, and other views.
- Because the search bar now uses the full width, the breadcrumb above it can also use the full screen width, so long record titles are less likely to be cut off.
- This is especially useful on small screens, where the default narrow search bar wastes vertical space when many filters are applied.
No new menus, buttons, reports, or business rules are added. The module only provides a styling change (a stylesheet loaded in the backend assets) and does not modify any data model. It depends on the core web module.
