#. You can create an index for the `name` field of `res.partner`.
|
|
#. In the search you can use:
|
|
|
|
``self.env['res.partner'].search([('name', '%', 'Jon Miller)])``
|
|
|
|
#. In this example the function will return positive result for `John Miller`
|
|
or `John Mill`.
|
|
|
|
#. You can tweak the number of strings to be returned by adjusting the set
|
|
limit (default: 0.3). NB: Currently you have to set the limit by executing
|
|
the following SQL statement:
|
|
|
|
``self.env.cr.execute("SELECT set_limit(0.2);")``
|
|
|
|
#. Another interesting feature is the use of ``similarity(column, 'text')``
|
|
function in the ``order`` parameter to order by similarity. This module just
|
|
contains a basic implementation which doesn't perform validations and has to
|
|
start with this function. For example you can define the function as
|
|
followed:
|
|
|
|
``similarity(%s.name, 'John Mil') DESC" % self.env['res.partner']._table``
|

Usage with demo data
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
There are some demo data that allow you to test functionally this module
|
|
if you are in a **demo** database. The steps are the following:
|
|
|
|
#. Go to *Contacts* and type the text **Jon Smith** or **Smith John** in
|
|
the search box and select **Search Display Name for: ...**
|
|
#. You will see two contacts, and they are the ones with display names
|
|
**John Smith** and **John Smizz**.
