Hi Chavarousk,
The employee interface (which I believe you have the correct form already - home.htmpl in the employee interface) already should have the number of open requests for that user. The search part however is not something that we would be able to assist you with adding from a support standpoint as it would a bit out of our scope. However, there may be some other customers here who have gotten that to work and may be willing to share their configuration with you. Another option would be to post an "idea" here on the communities for that feature. Folks can then vote for it and product management will review it for consideration in a future release of the product.Thanks,
Jon I.
