Tokenized search with possible Boolean options.

[lemon1324]

What is the problem you are trying to solve with this feature?

Let's say I have items named:

• "Item, long description, blue"
• "Item, long description, red"
• Items of many other colors.

Let's say I also have several items:

• "Object, long description, blue"
• Objects of many other colors.

Then currently, searching "Item" returns items of all colors, while searching "blue" returns items and objects, but searching "Item blue" returns nothing because that is not an exact substring of the inventory entry I'm looking for.

What is the solution you are proposing?

Tokenize search inputs and use an OR search by default.

What alternatives have you considered?

I'm not sure that there is an alternative - especially as the number of items increases, I'm much more likely to be searching in a "wait I thought I had this, do I?" mode, where I don't necessarily know the exact string that appears in the item metadata.
