A SearchForm is a DynamicForm specialized for a user to enter search criteria.

All DynamicForm properties and methods work on SearchForm. SearchForm extends and specializes DynamicForm for searching; for example, SearchForm sets hiliteRequiredFields false by default because fields are typically not required in a search.

A SearchForm may be bound directly to a ListGrid by applying it to ListGrid.searchForm. Doing this ensures that when search() is invoked (from a submit button click or Enter keypress), the grid will be filtered by the values from the search form.

Alternatively, developers may implement their own search handling logic.
