The SearchEdit component is used to specify the text by which BI search can be performed.
The component represents text editor analogical to the EditBox component. The button to clear specified text is implemented in the component area. To start the BI search process, call the Search method. The component does not return any search result, indication of time limit in the Timeout property enables the user to trace its timeout. When timeout is achieved, the OnSearch event is generated for the component.
To get results of BI search, use the SearchEdit component together with the SearchDataSourcesBox component
