what happened with name_search function?

Hi,

I have added this piece of code to name_search function in product.py

Code:

            if not len(ids):
                ids = self.search(cr, user, [('description','=',name)]+ args, limit=limit, context=context)

the original function is here :

Code:

   def name_search(self, cr, user, name='', args=None, operator='ilike', context=None, limit=100):
        if not args:
            args=[]
        if name:
            ids = self.search(cr, user, [('default_code','=',name)]+ args, limit=limit, context=context)
            if not len(ids):
                ids = self.search(cr, user, [('ean13','=',name)]+ args, limit=limit, context=context)
            if not len(ids):
                ids = self.search(cr, user, ['|',('name',operator,name),('default_code',operator,name)] + args, limit=limit, context=context)
            if not len(ids):
               ptrn=re.compile('(\[(.*?)\])')
               res = ptrn.search(name)
               if res:
                   ids = self.search(cr, user, [('default_code','=', res.group(2))] + args, limit=limit, context=context)
        else:
            ids = self.search(cr, user, args, limit=limit, context=context)
        result = self.name_get(cr, user, ids, context=context)
        return result

I needed that to search also in product description
and it was working.

After latest code update does not work anymore. I mean does not return any product even if is called.

Any idea?

Thanks

Go to launchpad and check the merges to see if anything changed, I doubt it though, definitely not in stable. More likely your search is wrong, or you installed a module that over rode the behaviour.

In any case, unless you want a specific code a better search term is

Code:

if not len(ids):
                ids = self.search(cr, user, [('description',operator,name)]+ args, limit=limit, context=context)

Thanks, is working ok.
Can you take a look at the name_search function and tell me how to achieve the search in name , description, default_code in the same iteration?

The way I modified the function, if it finds the term in the name it stops, even if I have a lot of pozitive matches in the description.
Thanks Again.

Code:

ids = self.search(cr, user, ['|','|',('name',operator,name),('default_code',operator,name),('description',operator,name)] + args, limit=limit, context=context)

Something like that.

Oh, thanks!

I've already done that, only difference is the extra '|' , what is this here for?

Thanks

they are prefix operators, | means OR. You have 3 terms so you want A OR B OR C, without it you have A or (B AND C)
