    You can, it’s called a Parameter Query. There are different ways to implement this – sometimes you may simply want to prompt for the search term (as in the example in the article). Other times, particularly if you are building a form to collect information from the end-user, you’ll want to have the parameter refer to a control on the form instead of prompting for the value(s) when the query is invoked. Without knowing your exact implementation goals it’s difficult to recommend the best strategy to use for your circumstances, but this at least should get you started.
