One possibility is to use a text box. Let the user type in a search value and incrementally search for it (w/ RECNO(0) etc.). When the user hits a "Done" button, present the RECNO(0) record plus the prior (say) 5 and the next 10 records in a listbox or combo for final selection.
Doing this with an Internet connection could be tricky.
