Action button for a simple search in a view - Lotus Notes 7

I want to create an action button to do a simple search ( based on some parameters, fields where the user can introduce what he wants to search ). I don't want to use many and many script libraries and so on ... Is there any simpliest method for this?

You can use form-based searching. Enable full-text search on the database, then click View/Search This View. When the search bar is open, click More (at the right). Click the Form button (the 4th), then select your search form. What forms are available as search forms is defined in the Designer, per form. See the option Include in Search Builder, in the Form Properties dialog box.

Assuming you want to search a view, you can simply write the script straight into an Action button on the view. If you need to prompt for parameters, you can either use a dialogbox (or look here), which will require a form design to be created in the database, or just a series of inputbox. Inputboxes are quite limited, but do not require additional design elements in the database, unlike a dialogbox, which requires a form, but you can do almost any kind of interface you require.
