Each of our parts has a part number (also drawing number) & description (also description on drawing).  We need both these items in our ERP system & need both fields searched when searching.  We are putting the drawing number as the name and the description in the "Description for Quotations" & the "Description for Vendors" fields.

We need to be able to search the "Description for Quotations" & the "Description for Vendors" fields for each product.

How do I make the default search box include these fields when it's searching?

Or should we structure this differently?

The default fields used for searching in Products are:

Internal Reference - a great place for product part numbers, sku's, item codes, etc

Name - a short product name

Barcode - self explanatory


You can see this in the SEARCH VIEW definition:

<field name="name" string="Product" filter_domain="['|','|',('default_code','ilike',self),('name','ilike',self),('barcode','ilike',self)]"/>


If you want to change or add fields, you would modify that same line (or rather, create your own view that inherits and overrides the Odoo view and replace filter_domain with your own choices).

Thanks for responding.  I'm having some difficulty finding exactly how to edit the search view definition.  Any suggestions?  I'm using odoo version 10.
