I appreciate the answer, but I can't figure out the syntax and can't find documentation.
For example, I can't generate the search_menu via: db.define_table('members', Field('first_name','string'), Field('last_name','string'), Field('address_street_1','string', label="Address 1"), Field('address_street_2','string', label="Address 2"), Field('address_city','string', label="City"), Field('address_state','string', label="State", requires=IS_IN_SET(states)), Field('address_zip','string', label="Zip"), Field('address_zip4','string', label="+4"), Field('phone_home','string'), Field('phone_mobile','string'), Field('phone_work','string'), Field('email','string'), Field('union_international','string', label="Int'l",requires=IS_IN_SET(internationals)), Field('union_local','string',label="local"), Field('district_ks_house','string',writable=False), Field('district_ks_senate','string',writable=False), ) def search_test(): search = SQLFORM.search_ment([db.members.district_ks_house, db.members.district_ks_senate]) return locals() On Sunday, March 31, 2013 10:26:11 AM UTC-5, Anthony wrote: > > You can use SQLFORM.search_menu([list of fields]) to build the search > menu, and once the search is submitted, you can use SQLFORM.build_set([list > of fields], keywords=request.vars.keywords) to get the DAL Set object > associated with the search. > > Anthony > > On Saturday, March 30, 2013 7:05:17 PM UTC-4, Jake Lowen wrote: >> >> I like the way that SQLFORM.grid search works.
