bulk search

I would like to propose an idea where several part number (items) can be searched within 1 criteria (using comma or any other delimiter).


A real life use case:


We would like to train our users to do bulk data loads but that can be done within a workflow in the collaboration area. To do so we have to checkout all the items to the workflow. Before checking out we have to find all the part numbers and check them out.

Let's say we receive a list of 50 part numbers. Currently we have to add 50 different search criteria to find all of them.

This is why we would like to ask for this function, so we can search all 50 within 1 criteria and don't have to add all of them one by one (which is a huge pain...)
