Beansoftware Search Control supports four ways of searching:

- Any word - control creates query that returns records which contain any of the searching words
- All words returns only the records that contain all requested words
- Phrase - searches for exact phrase in database
- Search Expression - this type of searching is similar to Google's. User can insert something like (apple or banana) and not kiwi. Returned records will be correct for person who likes apples or bananas but not kiwi. This search option is customizable and you can set keywords AND OR and NOT to your language words or to + | and like Google does.

It is possible to choose where in record is searching needed:

- Beginning of record - returns only the records which start with search term
- End of record - returns only the records which end with search term
- Middle of record - this is default value, returns the records which contain search term on any place in record
- Exact record - record value must be exact same like the search term

Two technologies of searching are supported:

- LIKE keyword - this technology of searching supports SQL (Structured Query Language) for working with all popular databases (MS Access, SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle etc.)
- MS SQL Full Text Search - this is optimized way of searching that works only with MS SQL Server databases
