TEstSearchDialogs

Searchdialogs arose from an idea by Eric ten Westenend to allow adding search capabilities to a database application in an easy way. Not reprogramming a search functionality over and over again, not several different implementations of searching throughout the application, no per-application solution anymore. A standard way of searching that is easy to use for the end-user and easy to implement for the programmer.

While Eric was able to develop his idea to quite a professional level, I still saw possibilities to extend the idea. I also wanted to allow other Delphi developers to use the powerful solution freely. Erik Stok search dialogs is what resulted.

Extras

Source only
	Midas implementation	This is the first attempt to create a midas (datasnap) implementation of the search dialog. For now it is very simple, straightforward and not secure at all, but it works. A demo application should be added to demonstrate how to implement this (will be added later). Remember, this is still a beta.
	Help file	Unfinished, but maybe good enough to help you on your way.
