Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
Is there any plan to implement global search in odoo?
I mean a tool, where user can type just some string and get result from different tables (partners, task, call etc) and from all fields (name, phone, city etc.).
If I would make such tool myself, should it be a module or it can be modification of a source tree and there will be a chance for acceptance of my pull request?
We have developed a module that will exactly fulfill your need. Our module will search the complete odoo system for matching values and display it menu wise highlighting the matching records. It will also display you the native tree view so you can easily grab what you want. From there you can navigate to single or multiple records and perform actions on the records. It will be simply amazing, just take a look at our module here https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/9.0/odoo_real_global_search/.
Hi,
We have made one application for Version 9.0 and its available as paid in https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/9.0/global_search/
Thanks,

Hi,
We will make available something like you want. Please see below.
I hope it will help you a lot.
Thank you, but in your module the user also have to specify where to search (what table and what field). It's not a global search. It's just provide global input to search something particular (e.g. search partner by name from any page in odoo)
@Ivan indeed our module is having more features then just you thought. If we do as per your thinking then we have specify any object no ? If not then do you think how much time system will need in order to search from all tables ?
with a global index system should handle search request fast enough
1. Use the live chat to ask your questions.
2. The operator answers within a few minutes.
@Ivan,
I've come across this for global website search (blog, products, etc.):
https://github.com/OpenSur/Odoo_addons/tree/master/website_search
While this does not do admin search, I think it would be a great place to start for anyone wanting to build an all-in-one backend/admin search.
If you are going to build it I think it would be a valuable addition to the 8.0 community modules, and perhaps a candidate for OCA (as I have not seen anything similar yet in their various projects).
