Search is an integral part of any solution, and can take many forms. FileMaker provides us with a useful native find mode, along with quickfind. Often though this is unintuitive for users, or just does not fit in with the design of a solution. In this article we present a slick, great looking search box UI design pattern, and explain how it is built. We also incorporate a number of native FileMaker techniques to achieve this (no plugins here!).

Before turning up at the FileMaker DevCon, Kris decided he'd fit in a bit of worldly travel that's seen him end up covered in mud at Glastonbury then enjoying a "summer" tour with Contiki around the UK in the middle of political and sporting crisis... how much fun could it all be?

Earlier today FileMaker released their latest version, FileMaker 15

This is the first time that FileMaker have moved to their annual release pattern so you will see updates and patches more frequently.

Firstly, there is a new full release right across the FileMaker product range. This means there is now FileMaker 15 for Server, Pro, Advanced, Go and WebDirect.
