many2one field autocomplete in OpenERP 6.1

Question

Hello everybody,
In many2one field, when I put some caracters the autocomplete return all strings contains these caracters. For example if I put "ma" the autocomplete return ("image","manager","roma" ...).
What I want is that the autocomplete must return exactly the sting which start with for example "ma" not witch contains "ma" in everywhere (at first, middle or last).
So where and which file I must modify.
Thank you.

I suggest you to override the name_search() method of your object like that:

def name_search(self, cr, uid, name, args=None, operator='ilike', context=None, limit=100):
if not args:
args = []
if context is None:
context = {}
ids = []
name = name + '%'
cr.execute("SELECT id FROM your_object_table WHERE name like %s", (name,))
ids = cr.dictfetchall()
return self.name_get(cr, uid, ids, context)

let me know if it works
