where will that search field be put?
i'm looking forward to have a global search field with a grouped
search result:

%<----------------------------------
[*hol*             ] (Search)

results in:

Articles___________________
Holmes autograph
Sleepy Hollow - the movie

Party_____________________
Holmes and Watson Detectives
Holmes Inc.

Invoices___________________
Investigation to whatever

Calendar__________________
friday: Meeting with Watson and Holmes

Attachments_______________

holmes_biography.pdf

%<----------------------------------

To have the same behaviour: put in text, and fire the search button
and take a deeper look in results.
Well, not everytime the best choice, but a lot of times very handy.
It may be necessary to define one or two global searchable fields per
model (name, description) or over every field via some fulltext-
engine.

And there should be the "old" extended search for searching inside
special Fields and/or Models.
For extended search it would be great to have a search to span over
multiple models to search for common attributes like "name" (product-
name, party-name). Maybe with an checkbox next to every model in the
list.

It would be a nice feature to surf through the resultset. I don't know
how to explain that very well. Here is an example how you can klick
through your data maybe with an indefinite tree-view, a new kind of
view or with new windows.

party
+invoices
 | invoice 1
 + invoice 2
  | article 1
  + article 2
   | stock
   + party (supplier)
    | address
    + invoices
     + invoice 1
      + article 1
     | invoice 2
  | article 3
  | ...
 | invoice 3
 | invoice 4

well. hope you got it. imho treeview is not the best one, but good to
explain.

so its not very technical it post this via tryton
