2. There is no way of indicating what field you actually want to search against.

This would typically be a search on whatever the description is made up of (ie that's what users expect).
Searching on one field is not useful for most of the cases. For example to search for a party, it is good to search in partyId, firstName, middleName, lastName, groupName fields. With other entities it would be good to search at lease in ID and description fields.

But partyId is unique, so searching on only one field makes sense, or ?

I suppose only ofbiz programmers know the data by Ids ;) For a user it would be much easier to write part of the name of the customer (it could be part of first, middle, last name, group name or part of the partyId) and then see the matching records displayed in the autocompleter.
