The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I dropped the set-to field. The records the user wants are not
necessarily contiguous. If they're looking for "Smith" they most
likely want "A. Smith", "Smith & Sons", and "Theodore Smithson". The
wildcard filter resolves that issue as well as case sensitivity.
Additionally, if the subfile goes above some reasonable limit, say 350
records, I ask that they refine their search. That makes load-all
subfiles the standard and adds full meaning to the scroll bar signals.
It also removes dozens of lines of code related to paging. A typical
view-only subfile program, with filters, is usually less than 150
lines. A view-only subfile, like a dropdown box, is under 80 lines. US
Presidents <
http://tinyurl.com/y86kuqsh> is a non-filter demo of a
drop-down box that checks screen size so it fits both *DS3 and *DS4 and
still is only 120 lines.

I usually provide both a skip-to field for positioning and filter
fields to reduce output -- with no more than 10 pages allowed for
page-at-a-time scrolling before they get a message that they must
reposition to get more data.
