1. Introduction

In the digital business world, speed and accuracy are critical for decision-making and operations. ERP systems like Dolibarr manage vast amounts of data across sales, procurement, inventory, and customer relationships. But without efficient search tools, users can waste valuable time finding what they need. QuickSearch solves this problem with real-time filtering that transforms how you interact with Dolibarr lists.

2. The Need for Faster Search in ERP Systems

Traditional ERP search methods often require clicking a search icon or waiting for the system to refresh. This can lead to user frustration, especially when working with large data sets. QuickSearch is designed to address this inefficiency by delivering instant, dynamic search responses as you type.

3. What is QuickSearch?

QuickSearch is a powerful Dolibarr module that enhances list navigation by providing instantaneous filtering capabilities. When users type a keyword or select a filter option, the list updates automatically — no clicks, no waiting.

4. Key Features of QuickSearch

4.1 Instant Filtering

QuickSearch displays results in real time as you type, reducing lag and increasing responsiveness. This feature is especially useful for quick decision-making during client calls or order reviews.

4.2 Improved User Interface

The module offers a smooth and efficient interface that eliminates the need for extra interactions. It creates a more modern and intuitive experience that aligns with web 2.0 standards.

4.3 Universal Compatibility

QuickSearch works with any Dolibarr list: customers, suppliers, products, invoices, and beyond. You can enjoy a consistent and unified search experience throughout the ERP.

4.4 Time Optimization

By cutting search times significantly, QuickSearch improves overall productivity and allows employees to focus on more valuable tasks.

4.5 Simplified User Experience

Even non-technical users can benefit from QuickSearch. The simplicity of typing a query and instantly seeing results makes it accessible for everyone.

5. How QuickSearch Works

The module enhances native list filters in Dolibarr. Instead of requiring form submission or pressing 'enter,' it intercepts input events and dynamically refreshes the list via AJAX. This ensures real-time results without full page reloads.

6. Real-World Use Cases

• Sales teams filtering customers by name or region

• Inventory managers locating products by SKU

• Accounting users reviewing overdue invoices

• HR teams searching for employees in databases

7. Benefits for Sales, Inventory, and Accounting

Every department benefits:

• Sales: Faster access to leads and contacts

• Inventory: Locate and update stock quickly

• Accounting: Instantly retrieve financial records

8. Integration with Dolibarr Ecosystem

QuickSearch integrates natively into Dolibarr without requiring changes to the database structure. It works seamlessly with modules like Third Parties, Products, Orders, Invoices, Projects, and more.

9. Performance and Scalability

Built with efficiency in mind, QuickSearch is optimized for both small and large Dolibarr instances. It performs equally well whether you're managing hundreds or thousands of records.

10. Accessibility and Multilingual Support

The module supports all Dolibarr languages and functions properly in both LTR and RTL display modes. It’s fully accessible for teams working in different regions and languages.

11. Customization Options

Admins can configure where QuickSearch is activated and customize the behavior for different list types. Styling and UX elements can be adapted to match corporate branding.
