hi dear frends

can some1 plz help me that how can i search the data
in a form using the wild cards etc.

b coz in the built in it doesn't allow the wild cards.
also it requires entering in the enter_query mode to plce some search.
how can i search the text from specific text item on the search button only.

In a pre-query trigger copy the values you want to search on into the base table items in the block, including % wildcards, and [tt]execute_query;[/tt].
