#3894 - Search Criteria: Boolean and wild cards possible?
Hi,
We use the 4.0.0 version which works fine except for one issue. Searching by name ('Search Criteria') gives far too many hits. See attempt examples below. Question: are there any Boolean or wildcard terms which can be used to narrow down the results? If not then: Urgent feature request to do so please. Our database contains thousands of names and organizations.
Search attempt 1: search term: Han (is first name of a contact) results: 75 hits or so. Such as Name = Hanneke or Johan or Hans
Search attempt 2: search term: Han Jacobs (full name) results: appears very similar (identical?) to first attempt. E.g. second search term appears to have no effect on search results
Search attempt 3: search term: "Han" (using Boolean quotation) results: 'no search results returned'
Thank in advance Maarten

Hello Yolanda, Unfortunately not. While we like this Outlook Plugin and really want to support the development effort behind it, we decided to purchase another Outlook plugin. The development resources behind the SuiteCRM Outlook plugin appears to be small and hence it will take a longer time to enhance its features. We couldn't wait for it so we switched to a more mature product (Implicit FrontEnd). It cost significantly more money per user but the productivity improvements make up for it.
