Global search - Bespoke search parameters
Ability to customise search parameters bespoke to company requirements.
Current search availability is far too narrow and hindering.
Presently using FreeAgent to find information to then be able to input in Xero to actually continue working - or having to put all relevant data in reference box. Frustrating!

Hi Michelle, do appreciate your feedback however I want to be open that we don't have intentions of enabling a bespoke search for everything in Xero. In order to search a field there is work that needs to be done by our teams to enable this to run across different fields and areas in the product.
It would be good to understand if there are specific ways, or items that you'd like to search in Xero and how this would help you find or navigate to items when using Xero.
You'll find there are many ideas that have been started around these sort of things here on the site that you're welcome to add your support too, or you can always start a new one if it's not already been raised.

I agree with Michelle; I find the Xero search box not always that helpful. So, a search for "IWC " doesn't bring up the customer "IWC" as there's no space in the customer name field. Xero search also doesn't recognise that when you're searching for a name with an "e" in it, it could also mean an "e" with an accent, which is common across European customers. I have many examples of Xero search failing to find what it is I'm actually looking for. Thanks.
