Micheal,
def's that are passed values are treated as private in the web2py
environment. Keep that in mind.
Lets say you wanted to search for a person's records by last name. You
have a field in a table -- SQLForm('lastname','string')
Steps:
1) Determine what you want returned. Then construct your function in
the controller --
def doSearch():
rows = db(db.table.lastname.upper() == request.args[0].upper
()).select(db.table.lastname, db.table.firstname)
return dict(rows=rows)
where db, table correspond to your db and table names.
2) Define your view how you want the data presented. Your view name
must correspond to the controller name.
3) construct your request --
http://address/app/controller/function/harmon
app is your application name
controller is the name of your controller
function in this case would be doSearch
harmon is the argument for the lastname to be searched for.
Rough idea to get you going.
