>Answer: Because it wastes valuable space. Only the bottom half of the grids records are relevant. The top half of the grids records are not relevant.
>The end-users will generally type text into a search box. The results will display in the grid. If the users have typed in “Jones”, they want to see a grid full of “Jones”s, starting from the top. They are not interested in seeing the top half of a grid filled with “Jameson”s and only from the center down filled with “Jones”.

Not an answer on your question, but here is a code, which may help: (method is called LocateRecordOnTop)

*--------------------------------------------------------------------------
* -- NSL 3/2/00
* -- Added this method per Nadya's request
* -- It is not automatically called but is available if the user would like to use.
* -- It is intended to be called on return from the search button to place the intended record
* -- at the top of the grid.
* -- NSL 10/10/01  Nadya wanted to be sure that Walter Meester is appropriately credited for this change
