Wildcard searching for product names when billing

As we get more and more used to google-ish searching we find ourselves telling staff repeatedly about using the wildcard symbol "%" more and more often.

 

eg. To search for product "AMCLT50 (CLAVULOX)"  with "%clav%"

Some searches in OpenVPMS have the % added to start and finish of the search term by default. 

Could product searches be made one of these?

Thanks

Matt

This is supported via the QueryFactory.properties file: https://www.openvpms.org/documentation/csh/2.2/reference/searching

#
# Uncomment the following line to make substring searches for products the default.
#
#product.*                     org.openvpms.web.component.im.product.ProductQuery,contains=true

 

Its not the default behaviour as on sites with large numbers of products it affects response times.

Thanks Tim,

We will run it and see how the system copes.

Cheers
