No, I think it is just a matter of simplicity;  keeping the UI from
looking like a widget bomb went off.

As far as I can tell the person::qsearch command (used internally to
actually do the search) can search on just about any field/sub-field.

This is an "extended attribute" (company value) we are talking about I
assume? (from "created a custom boolean value input field").  If so what
attribute type is it set to?
