It is possible to change the visible columns in the search results, all though it's not possible to do this from inside the editor, it can be done by editing an xml file in the editor data folder. This is a quick guide on how to actually modify this file.

First you need to locate the file, find the folder where you installed the game, this will be probably be "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2007", in this folder you should have a sub folder called "editor data", from here you open the "EditorColumns.xml" file in Notepad or a similar program. You should probably make a backup of this file first, so that you can always go back to the original file if you should make a mistake while editing the file.

After you opened the file you should see a list of columns for all the objects that are available in the editor, People, Club, Nation etc. The example here is for People.

<column_list type="People">
<column property="name" header="Name" width="200"/>
<column property="nati" header="Nation" width="100"/>
<column property="club" header="Club" width="115"/>
<column property="cljb" header="Job" width="110"/>
<column property="plpo" header="Position" width="160"/>
</column_list>



As you can see each column has three values you need to set. First value "property" is the property that the editor will get from each person and display in the column, this will always be a four character value. My next post will contain a list of all the properties that is supported by the editor. The other values are pretty simple, "header" is the text displayed in the header of the column, and "width" specifies how wide the column should be.

As an example I'll add a Current Ability column to the People column list, as you will see in my next post the property value for Current Ability is pcra.

<column_list type="People">
<column property="name" header="Name" width="200"/>
<column property="nati" header="Nation" width="100"/>
<column property="club" header="Club" width="115"/>
<column property="cljb" header="Job" width="110"/>
<column property="plpo" header="Position" width="160"/>
<column property="pcra" header="Current Ability" width="100"/>
</column_list>



By editing any of the column lists you can customize the information displayed to you when doing any searches in the editor.

Hope this little guide is helpful, if you've got any questions or problems with this, let me know and I'll attempt to help you.
