Not much different than using local tables.
You usually do something in a keypress or interactivechange event that does a Requery(). Do the same thing but use a parameterized remote view. Of course a properily indexed backend is much desired.

In SQL Passthrought

m.lnConnHandle = SQLCONNECT('dnsname')
ThisForm.cParam = 'S'
= SQLEXEC(m.lnConnHandle, 'SELECT name FROM customers WHERE customers.name like '+ALLTRIM(ThisForm.cParam)+'%', cursorname )

OR
lcParameter = 'S%'
= SQLEXEC(m.lnConnHandle, 'SELECT name FROM customers WHERE customers.name like '+lcParameter, cursorname )
