Yet another techie question

[sarren]

On the database spec one of the questions asks people to list stuff and has a basic text box. My boss would like me to change it so that each list item has a separate entry, to make searches easier.

To start with, I have no idea what kind of box I'd need, and even then, unless everybody used exactly the same wording, wouldn't they fail to collate properly? Can the search be for keyword only?

does he mean you need a pick-list so that users choose items from a fixed menu of choices ?

No, she means she wants them to be able to write things in separate boxes so that we can search for matches. It doesn't seem possible unless *looks doubtful* you just searched for keywords?

I figured we'd probably have to use a 'pick-list' - except I had no idea what it was called, so googling has been ineffectual. Pick-list! I have a name!
