Query Filter

Runtime Options

The default comparison operator is ( = ), which searches for an exact match between the BrowseBox field and the corresponding Query input field. By default all matches are case sensitive. Pressing the comparison operator button cycles through all the available operators:

Operator		Filter Effect
=	browsefield	equal	queryvalue
>=	browsefield	greater than or equal	queryvalue
<=	browsefield	less than or equal	queryvalue
<>	browsefield	not equal	queryvalue
	no filter

For string fields, you may use the following special characters in the Query input field to refine your search:

Symbol	Position	Filter Effect
^	prefix	caseless (case insensitive) search
*	prefix	browsefield	contains	queryvalue
*	suffix	browsefield	begins with	queryvalue

For example:

d	matches 'd' only
d*	matches 'dog', 'david'
*d	matches 'dog', 'cod'
^*d	matches 'dog', 'cod', 'coD'

Upon completion of the Query dialog, the current sort order of the BrowseBox is filtered to match the query. If Query is selected again, the previous query is available by default. This allows sharing of filters between sort orders, as well as successive filter refinements.
