This is to remedy two issues with Notes views and searching.

1. The search dialogue for "Search This View" has no programmer control. Sometimes you want a customized form to face the end user.

2. If you perform a search of a view from lotus script, there is no way to display the results directly in the on-screen view the way you would if you used the  "Search This View"  dialogue. Programmers have to use various work arounds to display the information is a reasonable fashion (folders, report documents, etc) when there is a perfectly usable notes view with the requisite display capability in place.

This @command would enable programmers to design there own criteria selection form, but then be able to get the same visible results as the "Search This View" dialogue.
