Search Form

I have been reading the Zoho Creator documentation and drawn a blank.

Can anyone point me to an example of a layout that has a search form. ie. A layout similar to the form in a database that can be filled in and used as the filter for a lookup in a view.

It would be really neat if the search form was the top half of the creator display and the filtered list was below. The default would be for all the database records to show in the list view until some filtering data has been entered.
