Search using fields other than Name and external Id

    It be great if the new custom objects have a search capability as the legacy ones so we can create complex searches, specially using the API. Like: Get all books with author ABC that contains XYZ in the tittle; or get all books associated/linked to a particular user.

    Hi Matthew W , Lydia C - We are already in the works for the new custom objects search experience which is expected to search across all text type fields (Text/Text Area/Regex) and share the results in order of relevance. CCing @... from the Search team in case there are more detailed questions around the search experience.

    Are there plans to implement more complex searches? With the previous version we could use searches like:

    {
    "query": {
    "$and": [
    {"author": {"$eq": "Sidney Sheldon"}},
    {"publisher": {"$contains": "Bloomsbury"}}
    ]
    }
    }

    Also be able to search by relationship as before. So, for example, I can get all the assets that the user/owner XYZ has looking at asset:owner = XYZ (where owner is a lookup field to user defined in asset custom object)

    hi Lydia C - Our team are working towards this.. This might be something that we fix right after we make this feature available for all eligible customers

    We are also working on Dynamic filter capabilities on Lookup fields- 
    For eg: Show me all the Assets where Owner = Requester

    That's fantastic. Do you have an estimate for the release of those features?
