In a typical business application it is quite common to have forms that are used for searching.
Some basic features are:
- A pane that contains the search criteria
- A grid to display the results
- Sorting on the grid
- A detail page that opens when an item is selected in the results grid
What other features would you expect in a business application’s search functionality?
How about the ability to save search criteria, in order to easily re-run a search later. Or, the ability to easily, cleanly, print the list of results.
