Search views

The search options available are defined through the <search> view type. We can choose the fields that can be automatically searched when typing in the search box. We can also provide predefined filters, activated with a click, and predefined grouping options to be used in list views.

Here is a possible search view for the To-Do Tasks:

<record id="view_filter_todo_task" 
  model="ir.ui.view"> 
  <field name="model">todo.task</field> 
  <field name="priority">15</field> 
  <field name="arch" type="xml"> 
    <search>
      <field name="name"/> 
      <field name="user_id"/> 
      <filter name="filter_not_done" string="Not Done"  
        domain="[('is_done','=',False)]"/> 
      <filter name="filter_done" string="Done"  
        domain="[('is_done','!=',False)]"/>
 
      <separator/> 
      <filter name="group_user" string="By User"  
        context="{'group_by': 'user_id'}"/> 
    </search...
