Hi,
I am re-posting this question, for some reason i don't see my earlier post 
in this forum.

I have a form with 2 fields for search, one text, other drop-down. I want 
the users to be able to type in the free text or choose from drop-down or 
both.

    form = SQLFORM.factory(Field('address', label='Address'),
                        Field('ugroup', requires=IS_IN_DB(db, db.t_ugroups, 
'%(group_desc)s'), label='User group'),
                        formstyle="divs", submit_button="Search"
                        )

I have a custom form validator to check that both are not null.

    def check_search(form):
        if (not form.vars.ugroup) and (not form.vars.address):
            form.errors.ugroup = 'Need input on user group or address'

The problem is the IS_IN_DB kicks in and throws an error "value not in 
database" if only address is typed and searched.
How do i overwrite the IS_IN_DB validator with my custom validator?

Thanks,
Yogesh
