For regular usage, see Usage below. This section is to clarify optional functionality to developers.

To configure a model to use the Many2one style search field, make the model inherit from `date.range.search.mixin`:

class AccountMove(models.Model):
    _name = "account.move"
    _inherit = ["account.move", "date.range.search.mixin"]

This will make a Period field show up in the search view:

By default, the mixin works on the date field. If you want the mixin to work on a field with a different name, you can set a property on your model:

_date_range_search_field = "invoice_date"
