Search tab

The Search tab indicates whether to enable search, whether to show the search mechanism, and how to customize the search buttons. The search mechanism includes the search field, the Find, Close, and Back buttons, the column drop-down list, the criteria drop-down list, and the All-Level check box. The search mechanism can be very useful, but it does use several rows of a PDA’s limited display. Search is enabled by default.
