[AccessD] Searching Access

Hello all,

In the past I have jumped through some pretty big hoops to give my users
the ability to search and jump to the record(s) that they are in need of
getting to.  

Searching on a single form is easy enough through the Search, or QBF,
but what about when you have subforms, or want the users to search
through the entire database for something or have a memo field that is
need of searching.. 

Anyway, I was just wondering if I was missing the boat on the search
capabilities of Access.  It is so labor intensive to give the users a
searchable form so they can easily jump to the desired record, as I very
rarely have a single independent form that does not have a subform or 2
in it.  

Any tips, tricks, hints would be greatly appreciated.. Or pointers to
any white papers, articles, tutorials.. Anything useful would be great
as I've searched the archives and Google without much success.. 

Thanks,
Rich
