Re: [WebERP-developers] Script changes to enhance inventory description search regardless of keyword order

[DebiCates <deb...@ya...>]

Klaus, now that you mention it, I can envision the possible unexpected
headache this change might cause for current users. It would be best
included as an option. 

For example, two parts with descriptions
5/16 HEX SL PS SCREW 9/16 SS BAND 
9/16 HEX SL PS SCREW 3/32 SS BAND

Under the current search query, the user could rely that entering 9/16 SCREW
will find only the second item. With my change, of course it finds both. For
us, the limitation of keyword order (often netting NO results) was more
frustrating than too many. I figured there might be others with the same
issue.

It would be nice to devise a solution that would accommodate both types of
search. Perhaps entering *9/16 SCREW* could signify an in-order search like
it works now. A literal search signifier would be undoubtedly expected then,
too. And a NOT signifier too. Then allowing the user to mix them up in one
search would be an interesting challenge. Like, 

*9/16 SCREW* "SS BAND" #SL# PS 

And it would be even better to use a table to dictate the characters used
for each type of search signifier. Oh, and lastly to include instructions in
the manual! ;)

This is something I might commit to do. Any other thoughts out there?
