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:
+All results found are presented in that order, +hopefully presenting them in order of relevance.
+Table of contents
+The fuzzy search is automatically enabled on all Models. +Note that this only affects typing in related fields. +The regular search(), used in the top right search box, is not affected.
+Additional search fields can be configured at Settings > Technical > Database > Models, +using the “Name Search Fields” field.
+
+Just type into any related field, such as Customer on a Sale Order.
