[Kexi] Searches in forms

[AmbroJay]

Me too.  I need to be able to search using a simple form and then be able to
edit on that form.  I am on Kexi 1.0rcl in Dapper.  I might have to put Kexi
away for a few months I think and wait for some more upgrades. But I will
keep designing my Customer form in the meanwhile I suppose.
