Edit Search Condition in Odoo

Enhance your Odoo search experience by editing filter conditions directly in the search bar. Double-click any facet value to remove it and modify your filters instantly.

Problem Statement

In standard Odoo, when you have multiple filter values in a search facet (e.g., Desk or Chair or Table), removing a single value requires clearing the entire filter and re-adding the values you want to keep. This process is time-consuming and disrupts workflow efficiency, especially when working with complex filters containing many values.

Solution Overview

This module introduces an intuitive double-click interaction that allows users to remove individual filter values from search facets. When you double-click on any facet value, it is instantly removed from the filter and placed in the search input field for easy modification, while all other values remain active in the filter.

Key Features

• Double-Click to Edit: Simply double-click on any facet value to remove it from the filter
• Value Preservation: All other values in the facet remain active and functional
• Instant Search Input: Removed value automatically appears in the search field for quick editing
• Domain Synchronization: Filter domain updates automatically to reflect remaining values
• Visual Feedback: Hover effects and animations provide clear interaction feedback
• Multi-Value Support: Works seamlessly with facets containing multiple filter values
• Odoo 19 Compatible: Fully tested and optimized for Odoo 19 framework

How It Works

Step 1: Apply Multiple Filters

Start by applying a filter with multiple values. For example, search for products with status "Desk or Chair or Table". The search bar displays all three values as a single facet.

Step 2: Hover Over a Value

Hover your mouse over any facet value (e.g., "Chair"). The value will highlight with a subtle background color, and a tooltip appears showing "Double-click to edit".

Step 3: Double-Click

Double-click on the value you want to remove. The value is instantly removed from the facet and automatically inserted into the search input field.

Step 4: Auto Update

The remaining values (e.g., "Desk or Table") stay active in the facet. The search domain updates automatically, and your records are filtered based on the remaining criteria.

Step 5: Modify & Reapply

Edit the value in the search input field if needed, or select a different option from the autocomplete suggestions. Press Enter to apply the new filter.
