Finding records
In Find mode, web users have most of the same searching capabilities as FileMaker Pro desktop
users. They
can:
1 create find requests
1 duplicate find requests
1 delete find requests
1 show all records
1 extend (broaden) or constrain (narrow) the found set
Note Web users cannot save a found set of records (called a snapshot link in FileMaker Pro) and
they cannot access saved find requests. However, web users can reuse the find requests they
created during the current web browser session. For more information, see Instant Web
Publishing Help.
