Hello Everyone,
I have a question regarding the search query builder in the tree view. It is
the window that pops up when you click the "Filters" button/label at top
left.
How can I modify the list of fields that shows in that popup?
Just change the tree view. You can search on all the fields of the
view except those that are not searchable (usually calculated fields)
and the client also adds some special fields such as id, create and
write date and users.
Note that you can add fields to the view but make them "invisible" so
they're searchable but are not shown to the user.
Adding filter fields with a more flexible way than changing the tree view
would be a nice feature for Tryton. In my experience, the user wants to
search by a lot of criteria, no only by the fields showed in the tree view.
This requirement is very common in party and product views.
I don't know if other people has this need and if it would be very difficult
to implement in the core of Tryton.
I'm strongly against, it is a wrong user experience to not show proof of
the result of a search.
To fill this shortcoming, we have developed the searching module [1]. It
allows search records with flexible criteria in any Tryton model, subfield
search in m2o-o2m-m2m and store the criteria in a profile to be reused.

Too bad to not improve the current search syntax because all the
features you describe already exist expect for the relation field.
No, it has another more important feature: In the current filter box you
can not search if the fields are not defined in the tree view, this is
the main shortcoming that this module tries to solve.
