Raphaël,

Which type of field ? many2one or one2many ? Contains does not exists, I
think you probably mean 'like' ?

For searching on ids, we don't use 'like' but:
  [('foo_ids', '=', id)]
  [('foo_ids', 'in', [id,id2])]
I don't remember having seen/planned some improvements or changes in
that area.


If you propose an improvement, I would suggest to record on
feedback.openerp.com, our R&D teams does not process every discussions
on mailing lists. They are used to work on feedback.
