Purpose
=======
Allow to search properties fields.
For now, the properties fields are meant to be used with the search bar available in views, so everything was simplify as much as possible for this feature.
Technical
=========
Relational properties
---------------------
We can not search on relational properties using the rec name, or using one of their fields.
The following domains do not work
```
[('properties.partner_id', 'ilike', 'alice')]
[('properties.partner_ids', 'ilike', 'alice')]
[('properties.user_id.name', 'ilike', 'bob')]
[('properties.user_ids.name', 'ilike', 'bob')]
```
Instead, we should give the ids
```
[('properties.partner_id', '=', 55)]
[('properties.partner_ids', 'in', 55)]
```
IN operator
-----------
The "in" operator is used to either search specific tags / many2many
values, either doing a "OR like" condition on "non-array" value.
It can be used if the left or the right side is not an array
```
[('properties.my_char', 'in', ['a', 'b'])]
[('properties.my_tags', 'in', 'a')]
```
But it can't be used if both side of the condition are array, because
it will require to check type in SQL (which is technically possible,
but add extra complexity, so for now we keep the feature as simple as
possible).
So the following domain is not supported.
```
[('properties.my_tags', 'in', ['a', 'b'])]
```
Instead we should use the "OR" operator
```
['|', ('properties.my_tags', 'in', 'a'), ('properties.my_tags', 'in', 'b')]
```
Tags / many2many - "=" operator
-------------------------------
Tags and many2many have to be searched using the "in" operator.
So the following domain will return unexpected results and raise a warning.
```
[('attributes.mytags', '=', ['a', 'b'])]
```
The reason is that we don't want to dynamically check the type in SQL,
and so we need the "in" domain operator to know what to do in SQL.
