In Kexi 1.1.1 or newer, to get an input box where you can enter a criteria whenever your form is opened, create a parametrized query with criteria defined like [Enter name]. Then, "Enter name" message box will be displayed in the input box. Note that data in your form will be not editable with current Kexi version if you mase the form on a query instead of a table. There's no search box nor filter yet. There's an example query 'Owners by age' available in the new, updated, Simple_database.kexi example [1]. Open the query in the design or SQL view to learn how the parameter is defined.
