The Search Panel
================
The "Search Panel" is used to to define information that is to be
matched in the bowler database. The search panel itself is a blank BOWLER
INFORMATION window that is filled with the search information. When
matched, the entire bowler record will be displayed and ready for action
which is dependant on the menu item selected.

For example, to delete bowlers on a specific team, move the
highlight to the "Team" field via the +/- or cursor up/down arrow keys and
press the "Enter" or "Return" key. This selects team as the field in
which to search. Next, enter the name of the team that has bowlers to be
deleted (for this example, "PINBUSTERS" will be assumed). BowlStat will
search through the bowler database and display any bowlers that "match"
with the team name of "PINBUSTERS".
Once a match has been found, BowlStat will request confirmation
before deleting the bowler record: "MATCHED! Delete Data? (Y/N):". If the
data for this bowler is to be deleted, press "Y" (yes) and the "Enter" or
"Return" key. The data will be deleted and BowlStat will continue it's
search for additional datbase matches.
When entering search information, keep in mind that BowlStat will
match all characters that are entered. In the above example, a name of
"PIN" would have matched bowlers on the teams "PINHEADS", "PINBOYS" and
"PINNERS" - because all start with "PIN". Therefore, to limit the number
of possible matches, enter as much information as possible.
Notes: To exit the search panel, press the "ESC" (escape) key at the
confirmation prompt.
