In this mode you can normally:
<UL>
<LI>Create a new record</LI>
<LI>Enter search-criteria</LI>
<LI>Make application-defined things (login, etc.)</LI>
</UL>

When you want to search for records you can place the following
operators before the search-criteria:

<TABLE BORDER>
 <TR>
  <TH WIDTH=16%>
   <P ALIGN=CENTER>Operator</P>
  </TH>
  <TH WIDTH=26%>
   <P ALIGN=CENTER>
   Selects all records where the value of the selected field ...</P>
  </TH>
  <TH WIDTH=58%>
   <P ALIGN=CENTER>Example</P>
  </TH>
 </TR>

 <TR>
  <TD>
   <P ALIGN=CENTER>&lt;</P>
  </TD>
  <TD>

   ... is less then the search-criteria

  </TD>
  <TD>

    All values beginning with A or B:<BR>
    <I>&lt; C</I>

  </TD>
 </TR>
 <TR>
  <TD>
    <P ALIGN=CENTER>&lt;=</P>
  </TD>
  <TD>

   ... is less then or equal to the search-criteria

  </TD>
  <TD>

   All prices up to 100:<BR>
    <I>&lt;= 100</I>

  </TD>
 </TR>
 <TR>
  <TD>
   <P ALIGN=CENTER>=</P>
  </TD>
  <TD>

   ... matches the search-criteria <B>exactly</B>

  </TD>
  <TD>

   Get all Smith's<BR>
   <I>= Smith</I><BR><BR>

   When you omit the operator, the '='-operator is assumed.

  </TD>
 </TR>
 <TR>
  <TD>
    <P ALIGN=CENTER>&gt;=</P>
  </TD>
  <TD>
   ... is greater or equal to the search-criteria
  </TD>
  <TD>

    All values beginning with L or greater<BR>

   <P ALIGN=CENTER>,</P>
  </TD>
  <TD>
   ... is one of the values separated by comma
  </TD>
  <TD>

   Find all records with state deleted or inactive
   <I>= DEL, INA</I>

   <BR><BR>
   Please note, that this operator can be used together with all the
   operators shown above.

  </TD>
 </TR>
 <TR>
  <TD>
   <P ALIGN=CENTER>*</P>
  </TD>
  <TD>
   ... matches the criteria, and '*' stands for any or no text.
  </TD>
  <TD>

   Find all companies with 'Linux' in their names:<BR>
   <I>*Linux*</I>

   <BR><BR>
   Please note, that any other operator is not allowed, when the
   '*'-operator is used at any place in the search-criteria.
   <BR>
   Also note, that in great database-table the search via the '*'
   can result in long search-times.
