Modify Search Screens in SRM 7.0

Question

We recently upgraded from SRM 4.0 to SRM 7.0.  We use the classic scenario.
In the previous version, users were able to search for previous carts by using vendor or catalog number in their search criteria.  This is not an option in SRM 7 for the general user and they are not very happy.  Search by vendor is available for the admins in the Shopping Cart Monitor transaction.
We need to be able to add more fields on the Order Status, Advanced Search, and/or Old Shopping Carts and Templates so that users can search for carts more efficiently.
One concern I do have is the vendor catalog number.  For non-catalog orders, we added a Z field in SRM 4.0 for users to enter a vendor catalog number.  In SRM 7, that field was no longer necessary since the standard functionality brought in that field for us (not only for catalog orders but non-catalog as well).  If users were to do a search now, I wonder if it would look for those carts created in SRM 4 or if there is someway we can tell the system to look in the standard field as well as the Z field.
Any help as to how to add additional search fields to the POWL/Advanced Search would be greatly appreciated.
