Just installed 7.8.0 and the new search filter for leads/contacts, etc. doesnāt work. I click on the filter button and nothing happens.
The link for the new button is Javascriptvoid(0), the other new button to add/rearrange columns seems to work fine.
I did see a post where I can go back to the basic/advanced search, which I will probably do in the meantime, but Iād like to get this working. Anyone else?
same result here. Going to disable it for now, but I will be following this thread.
Hey Guys
Have you tried -
And do a hard refresh (clear all temp files from your browsers cache).
E.g Firefox - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache
Chrome - Ctrl + F5
That was the first thing I tried. That didnāt help.
I even tried in a different browser (MS Edge) and it didnāt work either.
Hey Guys
We do have a file fix on Github which if you wish to apply immediately feel free to do so.
https://github.com/salesagility/SuiteCRM/pull/3035
Once applied please:
Rebuild Minified JS Files
Rebuild JS Grouping Files
If necessary Repair & Rebuild
Clear Browser cache (as you need to ensure you have the latest javascript loaded).
Navigate to a module with the new Filter functionality and Click on the Filter button.
If successful a PopUp window will appear.
There will be a 7.8.1 release with this fix included.
Thank you!! I can confirm the fix on Github works.
Is this not fixed in 7.8.2? I just did a fresh install of that version and still canāt use filter icon.
if so, can you please give me a little more detail on how to apply the fist. I am a moderately technical person, but I am learning CRM installation on the fly. When I go to the github link you shared, I see a tab that says 2 files changed. Do I just create those 2 JS files and then use them to overwrite the originals in the directory? and then run the steps to conduct the test, right?
I tried that and saw no effect. Am I missing something, or just completely wrong? Please advise.
Also, is there a different way to filter module records in the meantime?
I am facing the same issue, installed 7.8.2 latest version. and did repair and install but fliter and View column does not work.
Please suggest the changes
Hey, you also have to go to GitHub and make the changes to the files. Then do the repair and rebuild and this fixes it. For sure, it fixed mine.
Hi, I had the exact same thing happen to me. Was not sure what to do??? I swapped the browser from chrome to safari and it now works fine.
I thought this might help someone out there.
Could somebody point me at the option which disables the filters and restores the old search functionality? I see this mentioned here, but after much searching I canāt find it.
Iām finding filters to be more of a hindrance than a help. One problem is that a filter canāt be edited once itās been set up, so if I make a typo I have to re-enter the filter from scratch instead being able to quickly correct the typo. Also, having to remove old filters and add new ones means I have to use more clicks to change my search criteria than was previously the case, making things slower.
I donāt know any way of disabling it, but I would suggest āSaving Asā the searches you do on a regular basis. So for example if you had a regular search for leads in Chicago, status ānewā you could save that and then maybe on āchicagoā is the field you change on a regular basis. That would certainly save you time if you do regular searches for the same stuff and only change one field. That way youād never have to re-enter if you make a typo.
Unfortunately most of my searches are fairly āuniqueā so having saved filters doesnāt help much. Iāve done some more searching and discovered that setting the parameter āenable_legacy_searchā in config.php is supposed to restore the original search behaviour, however setting this to true had no effect. So for the time being Iāve found the points in the code where this parameter was being read and have edited it to force the old search behaviour to be switched on.
For reference, the files are /include/SearchForm/SearchForm2.php and /include/ListView/ListViewSmarty.php.
I canāt really imagine a situation where either I or any of my colleagues would ever want the filter style searching, itās far more cumbersome to use, so at some point I might try to decipher the logic to see why the config parameter fails, but this will do for now.
This is still not working in 7.8.8.
Could you please indicate how you edited the two files to get legacy search working?

Hi!
Better later than neverā¦ (?)
Adding this line to config_override.php will restore the old search in Contacts.
$sugar_config['enable_legacy_search'] = array('Contacts');@geckopeb@gmail.com Thanks for that, it wasnāt clear how this parameter was supposed to work.
Setting that parameter to true ought to re-enable the old style searches for everything, but it didnāt work, in the end we just patched the code to force old style searches on in all modules.
On a side note, will this continue to be supported in future releases? The new filter +popup interface is slower to use than the old style.
