Hi Mark, Thank you so much! 

I feel awkward to say I was stuck in the first step. What is the type of search box in Search table? I am using lookup text, but always get "The Relationship of which this field is a part no longer exists. You may want to delete this field".

How can I have a bog text box for input search terms?

Thank you. ​

No problem.  Just create a field which is type multi line text.

    Hi Mark, 

    Thank you so much! I finally figure it out today! This is exactly what I need. It will help a lot in our daily usage by saving many clicks. Thanks! 

    A follow up question is, if I check and choose multiple records, is there a native way to open multiple record windows in Quickbase? Like we can open multiple PDF file windows at one click.

      . I'm glad to hear you got it working.
      There is not really a one click method to open up all the matching files but you can right click on all of them one by one and they will open up a new windows.

      HI Ning

      I am in same situation as you. I don't have IT background. 

      Are you able to break it down in steps for me.
      I also want to search multiple records under one Common heading at same time.
      I would really appreciate your help.

        Amandeep,

        it's not clear what your question is. Did you try following my instructions?
