Revise filters (Remove From/To) unless the item is a date

The current filtering system adds clicks and doesn't provide a benefit that I have encountered.

The only time I can think of the 'From' & 'To' filters being useful is with dates.

There is rarely a time (i can't think of one) that I have entered a different value in the "From" and "To" columns when trying to filter a result. The vast majority of the time, I am filtering for a single job/supplier/cost code.

This adds clicks and means I've got to double enter information. It also makes things more difficult when you can't "tab" downwards, only across.

Even if I did have multiple items that I'd like filtered, it would be unlikely that they were in sequential numerical or alphabetical order, so using the "From" & "To" function would leave me with results that I don't want/need between the items that I do want filtered.

It would be much better if every filter could be a "Contains" input. Even better would be to allow for filtering of multiple items by separating each item with a comma.

At the very least, please change the behaviour of the "tab" key to move the input DOWN rather than across to the next column.
