Aman-Mittal opened a new issue, #493:
URL: https://github.com/apache/fineract-backoffice-ui/issues/493
## What happens
`/clients/search`, presented in the sidebar as **Advanced Client Search**,
renders exactly one control: a "Search Query" text input and a Search button.
```js
document.querySelector('main').querySelectorAll('input, select, ion-select,
ion-input, ion-checkbox, ion-datetime, textarea')
// → one ION-INPUT (plus its inner native input). No other control on the
page.
```
Confirmed in source —
`src/app/features/clients/client-search-v2.component.ts` declares a single
`<ion-input>` and no other form control.
## Why the naming is a problem
There are no filters for office, status, external ID, mobile number,
activation date range, staff, legal form, or any other client attribute. A
single free-text query is the same capability the global search at `/search`
already provides, just scoped to clients.
So a user who deliberately picks "Advanced Client Search" over the plain
Clients list — which does have a status filter and a search box — gets **less**
than they started with, under a name that promises more. The label sets an
expectation of targeted multi-field search that the screen does not meet.
## Suggested fix
Either make it advanced or rename it. Making it advanced is the more useful
direction, and the backend supports it: Fineract's client search accepts
office, status, external ID, display name, mobile number and date filters, so
this is a matter of surfacing fields that already have endpoints behind them.
A reasonable first cut:
- Office (select, defaulting to the user's own)
- Status (select)
- External ID, mobile number (text)
- Activation / submitted date range
If that is not near-term work, renaming the nav entry to something honest —
"Client Search" — is a one-key change that stops the screen promising
capability it does not have.
## Environment
Verified against a clean checkout of `main` (`a24a06ba`) served with `ng
serve`, backend `sandbox.mifos.community`, 1366×900, Chrome.
