Enter a value in the Search Text field, then select the field you wish to search by selecting it from the Search
Field drop down menu.
In all cases clicking the Search button will display all matching records. The matching records count is displayed below
the search button. If a matching game is found then the Edit and Delete buttons will become visible. Please note, that
if you have selected a read-only database during installation, editing and deleting games is not enabled.
Use the Delete button to delete the current game, pressing this button will cause you to confirm that the game is to
be deleted.
NOTE: Once the game has been deleted there is no way of retrieving it.
If there is more than one record which meets the search criteria then the Forward and Back buttons become enabled.
The Search field lets the user choose which field of the database to search. The default search criterion is All records.
This enables you to look at each record in the database by clicking the Forward or Back button. You can also display a
list of all the names by clicking the Browse NAMES button; this will open a drop down listing of all game titles.
