Have you ever wanted to access the Search Bar from LotusScript?

Being able to do so would perhaps remove the need for various homecooked solutions on how to do full text searches and display the results to the user. Even though we do have programmatic access to full text, I have allways felt that something is missing. Why not just use the standard search bar in the Notes client? This post describes how to do exactly that with a couple LotusScript classes, using Windows API functions. You can set and get the text of the Search Bar, and even click the "Search" button programmatically.
