I guess you want to ensure at least one checkbox is checked when button1 is clicked, right? If so, place it at the beginning of button1_Click event.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!checkbox1.Checked && !checkbox2.Checked && !checkbox100.Checked)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Please select a checkbox.", this.Text, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning);
        checkbox1.Focus();
    }
    else
    {
        Form f4 = new Confirm();
        f4.Show();
        Hide();
     }
}

You can do this using custom validation.

But you could also get rid of the checkboxes and assume that if the user types in the textbox then they want to do a search on the field.

Start with search button disabled and only enable it when at least one field has text in it.

This will not give you a direct answer (work-done-just-for-you kind of answer), but should point you in the right direction:

For every checkbox do a checkbox.Checked test (boolean AND) and display a message box.

If you wanted to prevent the closing of the application then you have to handle the closing event and set CANCEL to true in this case.

void HandleFormClosing (object sender, CancelEventArgs args)
{
   if (checkbox1.Checked && checkbox2.Checked)
      return;

   MessageBox.Show ("Need to check all boxes");
   args.Cancel = true;
}
