[Launchpad Bug Tracker <751197@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Vinay Rana (openerp) (vra-openerp) has assigned this bug to you for OpenERP Web Client:

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.
