Also Search Registry entry
Specify additional fields to be searched when a search is performed on a field.
Description
The Also Search Registry entry extends a search in one field to include other fields. For example, when the Last: (Person Details) field is queried for a value, the Other Names: (Person Details) field can also be searched for that same value.
Tip: It is always possible to disable Also Search whenever a search is performed.

where:
column |
is the back-end name of the primary search field. In the example above, if Last: (Person Details) is the field in which a search term is entered, column = |
column;column;... |
is a semicolon separated list of columns that are also searched for any values entered in column. In the example above, Other Names: (Person Details) is also searched for any values entered in Last: (Person Details). In this case, column;column;... = Note: The column;column;... fields must exist in the same table as the primary search field (column). They can, however, be virtual fields. |
Example
In the Parties module, to have the Other Names column (NamOtherNames_tab) searched every time Summary Data (SummaryData) is searched, the Registry entry would be:
