Extends the name search feature to use additional, more relaxed
|
|
matching methods, and to allow searching into configurable additional
|
|
record fields.
|
|
|
|
The name search is the lookup feature to select a related record.
|
|
For example, selecting a Customer on a new Sales order.
|
|
|
|
For example, typing "john brown" doesn't 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.

|
Additionally, an Administrator can configure other fields to also lookup into.
|
|
For example, Customers could be additionally searched by City or Phone number.

How it works:
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
But if not enough results are found, then additional search methods are tried.
|
|
The specific methods used are:
|
|
|
|
- Try regular search on each of the additional fields
|
|
- Try ordered word search on each of the search fields
|
|
- Try unordered word search on each of the search fields
|
|
|
|
All results found are presented in that order,
|
|
hopefully presenting them in order of relevance.
