I personally don't really care either way, I just feel that the effort required to make it configurable outweighs the benefits. If the list should show results then just show them and if it shouldn't then don't, why bother with all the extra work of making it configurable just because the developers disagree on which is the best approach.
BTW, SugarCRM is one of many popular CRM suites out there and I don't think that just because they do something a certain way makes that approach the best one :-)

Scott,I did not find enough time for that. This idea cames to me after a short test of SugarCRM last version. I think we could show results by default in SFA at least. There should not be too much results, and with the new length parameter Bruno is working on, this should improve user experience. This because it seems that some decision-makers began to look at OFBiz from the CRM/SFA perspective. We should take care of their expericen, most of the time they decide of our future...Jacques From: "Jacques Le Roux" <[email protected]>From: "Scott Gray" <[email protected]>Could you provide an example search form where this might be useful? Perhaps talking about specific forms might be more helpful.I will try tomorrow to explain why, I must admit I have not yet considered the howJacquesI have no problem with OFBiz being set one way or the other but making it configurable seems like a lot for little return.Regards Scott On 13/10/2009, at 10:37 AM, Jacques Le Roux wrote:Not only people evaluating OFBiz, but also people dealing with small numbers.

Jacques From: "Scott Gray" <[email protected]>-1, that sounds like a lot of work and additional complexity and for what? So that people evaluating OFBiz don't have to click on a search button in order to do a search? I'm sorry but it really makes no sense to me.Regards Scott HotWax Media http://www.hotwaxmedia.com On 13/10/2009, at 9:51 AM, Jacques Le Roux wrote:Also in the case of searching by default, the search fields should be visible (it's no obvious as it's only a string in the screenlet title)From: "Jacques Le Roux" <[email protected]>Hi,OOTB, we decided to not do searches by default when a page containing one is opened (I was for this decision) I wonder if we should not parametrize this in the DB and let it available in the "My Portal" Préférences ? Then we could set it to yes by default and avoid people evaluating OFBiz to clic on search button each time they open a such page. We could also have an URL going to the preferences in each search to allow a quick change if needed This is not related to lookup dialog boxes but only searches in plain pages.What do you think ?
