In Short
Contacts Duplicates Real Time Search is an Odoo 19 Extra Tools app (19.0.1.0.4). The tool for real-time control of contact duplicates.
Contacts Duplicates Real Time Search flags matching partners the moment a contact is opened or saved - so users see possible doubles before they create double work. Configure which fields count as a match, choose soft warnings or rigid blocks, and merge confirmed duplicates with Odoo's standard merge tool.
Pricing
The current price of Contacts Duplicates Real Time Search is 38 (one-time purchase for Odoo 19, all-inclusive Odoo Apps Store price).
No additional paid dependencies are required: the price above covers the full functionality out of the box on top of a standard Odoo installation.
Perfect for
Growing contact databases
Stop the same customer or vendor appearing twice as the address book expands.
Shared data-entry teams
Warn or block users when email, phone, or name already exists - before they save.
Multi-company setups
Duplicates are searched per company, so the same legal name can exist in different corporates when needed.
Why teams choose it
Key benefits before you dive into the details
Real-time on open & save
Duplicates are checked whenever a contact is opened or saved - on kanban, list, and form - so recent changes are always included.
Soft warn or rigid block
Use rigid criteria to forbid saving a non-unique contact. Use soft criteria to only warn users of possible matches.
Your match fields
Pick which stored fields define a duplicate - email, phone, name, or any other eligible field. A match on any rule is enough.
Broad field types
Criteria support stored char, text, many2one, selection, date/datetime, integer, and float fields.
Multi-company & merge
Search stays within a company. Confirmed duplicates can be merged with Odoo's standard partner merge tool.
Smart partner scope
Optionally search only companies and stand-alone individuals (no parent). Hide kanban/list counters to speed large views. Bypass rigid rules under Superuser for public checkouts if needed.

Configurable duplicates criteria
How rules work
- Choose which partner fields define a duplicate - soft and rigid lists are configured separately.
- Supported stored types: char, text, many2one, selection, date/datetime, integer, float.
- Most fields need an exact match (
123â1234).
Soft char & scope
- Soft search on char fields uses ilike - so
agrocan flagAgrolait(not the other way around). - Optionally limit search to companies and stand-alone individuals (partners without a parent).

Performance issues
Performance tips
Searches are as efficient as the Odoo ORM allows, but real-time checks scale with data volume - opening a kanban of 80 contacts against 10,000 partners means 80 searches.
- Slow kanban/list? Turn off the duplicates counter for that view.
- Slow saves? Prefer soft rules and skip rigid ones when full blocking is not required.
According to the current Odoo Apps Store policies:
- Every module bought for version 12.0 and prior gives you access to all versions up to 12.0.
- Starting from version 13.0, every module version should be purchased separately.
- Disregarding the version, purchasing a tool grants you a right to all updates and bug fixes within a major version.
Please note that the faOtools team does not control those policies. For all questions, please contact the Odoo Apps Store representatives directly.
The most straightforward approach is to use the Odoo store's built-in workflow:
1. Open the module's page and click the button Deploy on odoo.sh
2. After that, you will be redirected to the GitHub page. Log in to your account, then click 'Create a new repo' or use an existing one. Please ensure your repository is private. It is not permitted to publish the apps under the OPL-1 license. If necessary, create a new repo for your Odoo.sh project
3. Then, go to odoo.sh and click the Deploy button. In the pop-up window, submit the decision and click 'Continue.' This action will trigger the installation process.
These steps will install the app for your project's production branch. If you want to deploy the apps for other branches or update the module, you should undertake the following actions:
1. Upload the source code for the app from the Odoo store
2. Commit the module to a required GitHub repository. Ensure none of the app folders/files are ignored (i.e., not included in your repo's .gitignore). Repositories are automatically created by odoo.sh and may include some crucial items by default (e.g., /lib). You should upload all module directories, subdirectories, and files without exceptions
3. Deploy a target branch of the odoo.sh project or, if your settings assume that, wait until it is automatically built.
2. Re-start the Odoo server;
3. Turn on developer mode (technical settings);
4. Update the apps' list (the apps' menu);
5. Find the app and push the button 'Activate'/'Install';
6. Follow the guidelines on the app's page if those exist.
Yes, sure. Simultaneously, Odoo automatically adds all dependencies to a cart, so you should exclude previously purchased tools to avoid double payment.
A red/orange warning does not influence the app's features. Regretfully, sometimes our modules do not pass standard automatic tests since the latter assume behavior that conflicts with our app's goals. For example, we change the price calculation, while the standard Odoo module tests compare the final price to a standard algorithm.
So, first of all, please check the deployed database features. Does everything work correctly?
If you still assume that the warning influences real features, please contact us and forward full installation logs and the full list of deployed modules (including core and third-party ones).
No, we only distribute the tools through the official Odoo apps store.
Regretfully, we do not have the technical means to provide individual prices.
No, third-party apps can not be used on Odoo Online. Unfortunately, Odoo SaaS blocks such a possibility.
Yes, our tool requires all modules marked in dependencies to work correctly. The price marked on the app page already includes all necessary dependencies.
The price for our modules is set in euros. The Odoo store converts prices to other currencies according to its internal exchange rate. Thus, the price in US Dollars may change when the exchange rate is updated.

Does it work with large data sets? We struggle with the merge tool of odoo and it takes way too long to load.
Does it work with large data sets? We struggle with the merge tool of odoo and it takes way too long to load.
Hello Nikhilesh,
As for the merging, our app relies upon standard Odoo features for that. It doesn't redefine how records are merged.
As for searching for duplicates, the app introduces a real-time search based on dynamic criteria. By nature, such a search cannot be fast. However, the app lets you stop searching for views' loading, and leave it only for the particular moment of detecting duplicates. Please refer to the "Performance issues" section above.
I hope my comments are clear.
