As Xavier explained, this is by design, and on_change triggers are meant
for editable views (form views or editable list/tree views), but have no
sense in other cases.
An on_change relies on the current value of some fields of a record, and
helps to validate them or provide suggestions for other fields. There is
no sense to do that on a search view, which never represents a record.
Depending on what you want to accomplish in the search view, you may be
able to use the `filter_domain` attribute that lets you filter on
multiple criterions based on the input in a single field, or the
`context` attribute that lets you alter the search context, and give
different search/read results based on it (look for examples of both in
existing addons).
I'm closing this bug now, to clearly show that this is by design and we
don't plan to change the scope of on_change triggers.
Thanks for your understanding.

Title:
on_change should be supported on search view fields
Status in OpenERP Web:
Won't Fix
Status in OpenERP GTK Client:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
the code for the view:
<record id="view_employee_filter" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">Employees</field>
<field name="model">hr.employee</field>
<field name="type">search</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="hr.view_employee_filter"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<field name="name" position="before">
<field name="id_search"
on_change="search_id_change(id_search)"/>
</field>
<field name="parent_id" position="after">
<button name="attendance_action_change" states="present"
string="Sign Out" type="object" icon="gtk-go-forward"
context="{'type':'sign_out'}" groups="base.group_hr_user"/>
<button name="attendance_action_change" states="absent"
string="Sign In" type="object" icon="gtk-go-back" context="{'type':'sign_in'}"
groups="base.group_hr_user"/>
<field name="state"/>
</field>
</field>
</record>
and the code for the controller:
def search_id_change(self, cr, uid, ids, idsearch, context=None):
print idsearch
result = {}
return result
the on_change is never called.
Thanks
