In a typical business application it is quite common to have forms that are used for searching.

Some basic features are:

  • A pane that contains the search criteria
  • A grid to display the results
  • Sorting on the grid
  • A detail page that opens when an item is selected in the results grid

What other features would you expect in a business application's search functionality?
