Quick Search for Email Templates
A search box inside the email template dropdown of the mail composer. Type the name, the list filters, you pick the template without scrolling.
Odoo 19.0 · Community & Enterprise · OPL-1 · by OdooCamper Labs
What it does
When you click the Insert Template menu in Odoo's mail composer, your saved email templates show up in a plain dropdown. There is no search field, and the list only shows a limited number of entries. Once you have more than a few templates, finding the right one means scrolling through the whole list.
This module puts a search box at the top of that dropdown. You type, the list keeps only the templates whose name matches, and you pick the one you want without scrolling. The cursor stays in the box while you type, so nothing interrupts you.
There are no new models and no server-side logic. Installing or uninstalling it does not touch your data. It just adds the search field to the standard template selector wherever the mail composer is used.
Key features
For everyone who sends templated emails from Odoo: sales, support, HR, recruitment.
The search box in action
Open the "Insert Template" menu in any mail composer. The search field sits at the top of the list; type a few letters and only the matching templates remain.
Before vs. after
Without the module you scroll through the list. With it you type and the list narrows, even when you have dozens of templates saved.

Frequently asked questions
Does it change my email templates or any data?
No. The module only adds a search field to the existing dropdown. It creates no models, stores no data, and changes nothing about your templates. Uninstalling it leaves no trace.
Where exactly does the search box appear?
Inside the "Insert Template" dropdown of the standard mail composer, the same menu Odoo already shows. The field sits at the top of the template list and is focused when the menu opens.
What does it filter on?
On the template's display name. Matching is case-insensitive and works on any part of the name, so "follow" finds "Quotation follow-up".
Will the focus jump out of the field while I type?
No. The dropdown uses virtual keyboard navigation, so the real focus stays in the search input. You can keep typing without the menu stealing the cursor.
Is it compatible with Odoo Community and Enterprise?
Yes. The same codebase works on both editions, on Odoo.sh and On-Premise. It is not supported on Odoo Online (SaaS), where custom paid apps cannot be installed.
Do I need to buy it again for newer Odoo versions?
Each major Odoo version requires its own license. When the module is ported to a newer version it is published as a separate listing on Odoo Apps.
What support is included?
90 days of free email support after purchase, covering installation, bug fixes, and usage questions. Custom development is available on quote.
