Hi,
I’m brand new here so keep it simple 
I want to create a search form that searches an active view and returns matching documents (full text + attach) to the active view again (like the built in search).
The reason is that our end users don’t know English and are familiar with outlook so they want a search option in native language that is easy.
In short: Create a search form like the built in search tool. No need of advance search at all.
Thanks in advance

Subject: Creating a “Search Form” to search views
I like your idea, but if I make a few comments on it (by the way there was a posting on this attempt in these forums):
First the bad news, you will not be able to post the results of a search (normal or full text) to a view. There is not a method in the NotesUIView. In order to accomplish what you want you would have to make a view for results and modify the exisiting documents which make the search formula to show it there.
The problem here is that when more than one person is using this functionality it will not yield good results because you may accidently get someone else’s search results. The other consequence would be you are modify the document more than needed.
I would recommend you to use the same form and save the criteria you want for the search. Then create another form will use the search criteria and perform the seach and display the results on the form. This form would have the results of the collection and you can give documents to each to document and possible show some values of each document in the format a view would hold.
BTW, you could you a folder, but after 85,000 to 95,000 documents there was an error stating no more document could be added to the folder. And the folder use would not make this idea for a group of users to you. [You would almost have to make a folder for each of your users – just an unneeded indices for the folder use.]
HTH – Cheers – and feel free to email me should you need more specifics to your situation.
