Search function improvement: Include the “Custom fields” data to the main search results.

It would be great improvement to the Search function if the Custom fields data would be included to the main search results.


At this moment to search Custom fields data the technicians/admins have to:
  • go to the search page
  • click Advanced
  • make sure the main search box is empty
  • scroll down to the Custom fields data input fields
  • insert the search phrase into the correct/corresponding Custom field
  • scroll back up and hit Search (can be skipped if hit enter after inserting the search phrase into the correct/corresponding Custom field)
  • and then scroll back down to see the search results
All the described steps to make a search is very many steps.

If “Custom fields” data for some reason cannot be included into the main search results then perhaps it would be possible to use the main Search to search the specific “Custom fields” data with search phrase.

For an example if “Custom field name: Search phrase” is inserted to the main search then the search would search the specific Custom field Custom field name and the Search phrase.

Search function improvement: Adding an additional Search button under the “Custom fields” data input fields.

If the advanced search is heavy on the servers perhaps You could consider this option for the clients that have the "on-premise" version.
