Search fields

Search fields

I mentioned this bug quite a while back, and after several hotfixes it has still not been addressed, so I am mentioning it again.

In the Search area in the left-hand column, there is a drop-down menu with different areas of the system to search in. As of 7.0, the options Asset, Workstation, and Software are not visible in that drop-down menu unless you are currently viewing the Asset tab. For example, if I am viewing the request list, I can't directly search for a workstation keyword, because the Workstation search option is not available. I must first go to the Asset tab and then do the search.

Also, it's not entirely clear what the difference is between the Asset and Workstation search fields. The search box defaults to Asset when I am on the Assets tab, and I can search on workstation details without changing it to Workstation first. If this is a redundancy left over from the AssetExplorer integration, you may want to remove it to avoid confusion. Perhaps that can be part of the process for fully integrating assets and workstations together in the 7.5 release.

In any case, please add those search fields back to the other tabs. This should be an easy thing to do in your next hotfix patch. Thank you.
