Search for Items without using special characters

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Hi there, 

I would like to make a new search algorithm where you can basically search for items (for example on a Sales Order) like you would search for things in Tell Me.

I don't want to use any special characters. 

For example: if I would like to find big yellow sofa then typing "yel ofa" would be the way to go. 

Is there a solution to this, or can I somehow look up the search algorithm to Tell Me?

Thanks in advance!

    This might be worth a try if you have v19: github.com/.../Regex
