Component body

When you add a field, filter criterion, contextual filter or relationship to your view, fields are listed by labels and their real machine names are not shown, so you can't search them. This is rather inconvenient when you have a lot of fields with generic labels like "Name", "Title" or "Category" which are actually different entities in the database, like "field_client_name", "field_customer_title" or "field_news_category".

This tiny module simply adds "Machine name" to fields description so you can see field's original name and search for it. It appears as "Machine name: " at the end of field description.
