Hi Mark,If you're starting with ERNeu then you could always display the result list embedded in your query page with the showListInSamePage d2w key. That way, your search results simply load embedded in your query page and if you'd like to add/update query parameters, they're right there.
However, if you want something simpler like a query any field in your batch navigation bar, look at the ERNeu list page. There is a ERDFilterDisplayGroupButton wrapped by the nav bar. That could easily be updated in your subclassed list template to use a switch component and a custom search component like a query any field instead.
Or if you prefer to stick to ERNeu, you could update ERNeuListPage component locally to use a switch component that defaults to a ERDFilterDisplayGroupButton. Give it a sensible d2wKey binding name if one doesn't exist in ERD2W already ... filterDisplayGroupComponentName or something. Then file a jira and have it updated in Wonder at some point in the future :-) I think the current filter component is impossible to enable anyway, so someone needs to add a allowsFiltering = d2wContext.allowsFiltering; binding, at the very least.

Apologies for all the posts on D2W. After watching David's presentation on D2W and buying the book suggested on his blog, I have rediscovered D2W and am very happily deleting lots of components and replacing them with (more powerful) D2W components. I've created a custom look subclassed from ERNeutralLook and am busy recreating lots of custom components in D2W. So thank you all for making it available. I'm using Project Wonder obviously. My old components used a display group and I usually added a filter search box that allowed users to filter down the displayed list - essentially creating a custom qualifier and applying it to the display group. I'd prefer not to make this a three step process from the list page (1. Click on a query button, 2. Set query parameters, 3. get results), but instead have a search box adjacent to my D2W list that I can use to build queries on. I wondered whether I should customise my D2W list page and embed a ERDAnyField - but this results in "Attempt to insert null key into an com.webobjects.foundation.NSMutableDictionary." as clearly the queryAttributes binding is not being set and stringAttributeListForEntityNamed is returning a null value. Then I thought: this isn't the D2W "way". Do I instead add a fake aboveDisplayPropertyKey and get that key displayed using a D2WQueryAnyField and then somehow bind it to the right displaygroup and a submit button? Any pointers would be much appreciated. I'm sure I'm making this more complicated than I need to....
