Im trying to make an access database search engine, but im trying to do some trick on it.
ok, let me try to explain my issue as clear as possible.
1st: typing the item you what to search on a textbox
2nd on textbox change will trigger the syntax for matching the input on the database with 'like' statement
3rd and last is to populate the listview with the matching records based on step 1 and 2 so it will only show records that matched with textbox
this is my current way of searching the database, its pretty useful and accurate, as it will show you the records that will match with the one you typed on the textbox and populate a listview with all the matching records. The problem is, if the user would like to use more filtering on searching. Let's say I will try to search
Model: BMW
Color: Black
Year:2012
Model: X5
if I will try to search for 'BMW' keyword alone, it will try to show all BMW cars, then to norrow the search I will type the model, then the year and so on. Does anyone have an idea on how to do it?
THANKS FOR READING :)
