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()
