Leads -> Basic Search

[JustinK101]

When I go into studio and change the far RIGHT column (3rd column) for basic search and click save and publish all goes well. But if I put in a value into the search field and attempt to use it, it does not work properly. The value inst passed into the search, all results are returned.

I have tried adding Account name for example, to the basic search and it does not work, it returns all results. The field account name does work properly under the detailed search though. I think the basic search code is broken.

Bump, anybody know?

It's not broken so much as oddly programmed. I have only gotten added items to work on the basic panel by adding them manually and even then sometimes you have to edit other files to enable them. More to the point it SEEMS that only fields that end in _basic can live in the basic search pane. So if you edit the modules/Leads/SearchForm.html file and look for the input field named account_name and change it to account_name_basic then it will work.

That is the sum total wisdom gained from about 4 hours of cursing, head banging (not the good kind either) and computer kicking one night.

Thanks you were right on the money, adding account_name_basic to the field in the SearchForm.html did the trick. Sloppy coding by them though.

Not so much sloppy as I understand why that approach was taken. I think there are better approaches and since it's not supported by studio it's more than a little buggy,
