How to make a TEXT BOX to search records in a field

[UTOPIAN]

Hello to all!

How can I make a search engine in access? with a text box only; to search
for records in a field "name" of a FORM. But that is not the that default in
access.

Thanks!

Access Forms don't have "fields" ... Access tables have "fields".

If you create a form based on a query (the preferred option) or directly on
a table, that form's "controls" give you a look at the underlying data's
fields.

You could simply use the "Filter" features to search.

Can you be more specific about what you want your "search engine" to do?
