Hello,

I suggest to use restrict keyword on fast search filter (in right upper list widget corner) like in bugs-kde, ie with ':' char separator.
The idea is to enter <column>:<search> to restrict search in one column.
For example: in operation list, payee:macdo will filter and display only operations with a payee that contains 'macdo' and not a row with a comment that contains this word.

Moreover, we can reduce to one char 'p:macdo' to be faster...

The drawback is that real search with ':' will not be as before !

A solution is to allow quote inside search 'p:macdo' will search p:macdo in all column.
Quotes allow also to keep space search 'one two' will search the two words with the space and not one or two.

Do you agreed ?

I start some dev to test my ideas. I think I can generate a patch in few days.

PS: even if this idea is not kept, it should be useful to add a tooltip with +/- special char explanation (I discover these within the code).

Hi Vicnet,

This is a great idea !
I added it in my TODO list.

Do not hesitate to use the kde bug tracker to propose this kind of enhancement, this is better than in the forum.

Regards,
Stephane

Yep. I just want to discuss here the feasibility and then if everybody agreed, open an issue to discuss implementation ideas.

I suggest also to allow just first chars (at least one char) or column.
For example, to search only in Comment, 'co:text' will be enough.

But on which column to search with 'c:text':
1) only in the first column
2) on all columns that start with 'c'
3) other suggestion ?
I think (2) is more comprehensible.
