How do I make a Locator on a netwebbrowse search more than 1 column ?

[Bruce]

let's say you want to locate across the code and description fields when the browse is sorted by description.

go to the description field.
go to the "sort" tab
down the bottom; "Locate on fields" (comma separated list)
'fil:description, fil:code'

rinse and repeat for other columns (maybe the code column in this example?)

only works for strings - and only works for "exclusion" locators, like contains, begins with and search.

Fantastic !!!!!
How do I make the seach field Allways appear, not only after a column heading is pressed ?
How do I make the search words an 'AND' and not an 'OR' ?
How do I alter the value of the prompt text ?

>> How do I make the search field Always appear, not only after a column heading is pressed ?

make one of the columns the default sort order (also on the Sort tab.)
Locators are linked to columns.

>> How do I make the search words an 'AND' and not an 'OR' ?

assuming the "search" locator.

when searching use the + character. For example
+toaster +red
will only find items that contain red and toaster.
- also works
+toaster -red
will find toasters as long as they're not red.
and quotes around phrases
"red toaster"
means that phrase has to exist.

>> How do I alter the value of the prompt text ?

WebServer procedure I think - there's a translation there.

Thanks Again Bruce.
The last questions was actually:
How do I change the value of the Locator prompt on the browse .ie the prompt text of the locator field
also it would be nice to have a help button next to the search and clear buttons so I can educate my users how to use the search field
