I would do this:
db.define_table('numbers',
Field('nos', 'list:integer', widget=ListStringWidget),
Field('date', 'date',default=now)
where StringListWidget is defined here:
http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/msg/0c2600730ece873a
then
def search():
form=SQLFORM.factory(INPUT('no1','integer'),
INPUT('no2','integer'),
INPUT('no3','integer'),
INPUT('no4','integer'))
if form.accepts(request.vars,keepvalues=True)):
items=db(db.numbers.nos.contains(form.vars.no1)|\
db.numbers.nos.contains(form.vars.no2)|\
db.numbers.nos.contains(form.vars.no3)|\
db.numbers.nos.contains(form.vars.no4)).select()
else: items=[]
return dict(form=form,items=items)
