Searching Picklist, Multi-Picklist, and Date Values from Global Search and List View Search in Salesforce

Problem Description :  Salesforce has limited support for “Search” functionality. Users can only search values stored in the text fields/controls. Salesforce users cannot search values in Multi-Select objects as it is not supported. Multi-Select values are stored as text strings separated by semicolons in the database. The majority of business savvy customers want to search on all/any field on the screen.
