Search functionality for SharePoint list
Hi Experts,
Is there a built-in search functionality for a SharePoint List? I have a SharePoint List with several thousand records. Is there a way to search through a SharePoint list to navigate to the desired record as opposed to having to page through several pages?
thank you

What version of SharePoint? Have you set up and completed a crawl of your site?

you could use a filter on the list. one way to do this is with Data View web part.
DVWP (look at the stuff on how to add a DVWP to your page): http://blog.pathtosharepoint.com/2008/08/24/your-first-data-view-web-part/
filter DVWP (just ignore the stuff about tabs unless you want those. the stuff on how to filter using DVWP is what you want):

All,
thank you soooo much for the links. It will take me a little while to go through these especially since the place that I am working at decided to block many of the suggested sites. Will have to wait until I get home. Being a SharePoint newbie, I have to read up a little more on the DVWP but sounds exciting.
