Searching starts with the current row and moves forward. Note that you normally move the current row forward yourself after returning from a successful find( ) to continue finding. The following JavaScript is an example:

dbset.find(searchset) 
searchset = dbset.createSearch("state == #CA#"); 
while(dbset.find(searchset)) {
   alert(dbset.state); 
   dbset.moveNext(); 
}
