Hello

I think that I saw one day a syntax like :

<field name="partner_id" search="[('name','like','company')] />

So today I need to use this feature, help me please

Thank you.

So you can set the partner_id of an object to the existing partner with XML-ID base.res_partner_23:

<field name="partner_id" eval="ref('base.res_partner_23')"/>

If you want to perform a search, then you can use this style:

<field name="menu_id" model="ir.ui.menu" search="[('name', '=', 'Waiting Delivery Orders')]"/>

I have not explained well my problem, when we want to search in the model account.account we don't have the XML structure, because it generated in the system.

You are essentially correct, but you should also include the model name: for example:

<field name="partner_id" model="res.partner" search="[('name','like',u'Mike%')]"/>
