Stop menu-diving. Search everything from one box.
A single systray search box finds contacts, sales orders, invoices, and products anywhere in Odoo — with fuzzy, order-independent matching that forgives typos and reshuffled words.
The problem
Odoo's native search is scoped to whatever screen you're on, so finding a customer, then their quotation, then a related product means navigating to each module and searching separately. Worse, that search is exact and word-order sensitive: searching “Spotted t-shirt” will not find “Spotted Tshirt - M size - Nike,” and teams with large catalogs report they cannot reliably find products they know exist.
The solution
Global Search adds an always-visible systray box that runs a fuzzy, order-independent search across every model an admin enables — contacts, sales orders, invoices, products, and more — from a single query. Results are grouped by record type with inline previews, so you confirm the right record without clicking into it.
Everything you need to find a record fast
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Fuzzy, Order-Independent Matching
Type the words in any order, with typos or missing tokens, and still find the record you mean — the search that finally solves Odoo's exact-match problem.
Cross-Model Search From One Box
Search contacts, sales orders, invoices, and products — and any other model an admin enables — from a single query box, no more switching modules.
Results Grouped By Record Type
Matches are clustered under clearly labeled, colour-coded groups so you scan the type you need in seconds.
Inline Result Previews
Each result shows its key identifying fields right in the list, so you confirm the right record without opening it.
Full Keyboard Navigation
Open the search box, move through results, and open a record entirely from the keyboard, with a global hotkey to start typing from anywhere.
Recent & Saved Searches
Recent queries and frequently opened records are one click away, and you can save a search as a reusable template.
Guided Admin Configuration
An easy Searchable Models screen lets admins choose exactly which models, fields, icons, and colours are searchable — no hidden settings.
Non-Modal Floating Panel
Results open in a floating panel that never blocks your current screen, so you keep your place while you search.
Search Analytics
See what your team searches for most, with a full log of queries and record opens for every user.
How it works
Open the search box
Click the systray icon or press the keyboard shortcut from anywhere in Odoo.
Type your query
Type in any order, with typos or partial words — the fuzzy engine still finds the match.
Scan grouped results
Matches appear instantly, grouped by type with inline previews of the fields that matter.
Open or save
Click a result to open its record, or save the search as a template to reuse later.
Frequently asked
No sales fog. If your question isn't here, email us and we'll answer it the same way.
Yes. Every search runs as the current user, so results are automatically filtered by that user's normal record-level access rights and groups — nobody sees a record they could not already open.
