Title:
  [Search] Many2one combobox implies discrete search for particular
  resource, but does substring search instead

Status in OpenERP Web Client:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In the webclient, the search field for a many2one field provides a
  combobox with names of discrete resources, as well as a selection icon
  to select a discrete resource in a popup window. At the same time, the
  search field does allow the user not to select a discrete resource but
  leave his raw input as a search criterium. The latter implies a
  substring search, which is indeed the case. The former case, in which
  the user does select a single resource as a search criterium strongly
  implies a search on a uniqe resource. However, in this case the
  performed search is a substring search as well.

  Example:

  In my database, I search for partners in the Netherlands. Once I start
  to type something like 'Nethe', the combobox offers me the choice
  between Netherlands and Netherlands Antilles. If I select
  'Netherlands' from the dropdown options or select this resource
  through the selection icon, I would expect the resulting partners all
  to reside in this country, but instead I get partners in the
  Netherlands Antilles as well, because Netherlands is a substring of
  Netherlands Antilles.
