1.0 beta1: 'search' button missing from find form

[ststoddard]

Two things about the find form now --

1. If I do this for a parent table I get little crosses for related tables, I click on those, I get another find form… but it doesn't seem to do anything.

2. In the same situation the button to search is MIA. Of course, one can just hit enter. But users aren't necessarily so savvy.

This version adds the ability to search based on related records - however this necessarily works a little differently than a search on fields in the parent table. For example, consider a table 'Authors', with a relationship 'Books' (which is a list of the books that the author has written). If we click on the find tab for the 'Authors' table, there will now be a little section called 'Books', that allows us to also search fields of the books table.

If we enter queries for any of the fields in the books relationship it will have the effect of returning Authors that contain at least one book matching our query.

Some examples of places where this would be useful.

Find all authors who have written at least one book on dinosaurs.
Find all authors who have written at least one book published by Prentice Hall.

I realize that this may be kind of confusing, as you may be expecting this search to actually return books. The key is that since this find form is in the Authors table, it must return Authors - not books.

2. In the same situation the button to search is MIA. Of course, one can just hit enter. But users aren't necessarily so savvy.

I have added this to the issue tracker:
