If you leave this box blank and click Search, then all the result list will be all the records based on the Selected search method.
If you enter some text in the For filter then click Search, then the result list will be those which match the Selected search method, and agree with the For filter.
By convention unless method name states otherwise, the search is 'begins with'. For example if you choose 'Patient name', and type in 'SMI' into the filter, then the search will list all patients whose's surname or firstname begins with 'SMI'. The search uses advanced search rules, so you can type in the patient name into the FOR filter several ways and T7 will still try to find your results list. By the way, capitalisation is not significant.

Initially when you enter this dialog, this list will be pre-populated with the results for the Initial Search method, as if you had left the 'For' filter blank and clicked Search. The Initial search method can be set in Preferences.
If you change the Search method, or type into the 'For' filter, the list will clear. Click Search to refresh the results.
You can right click any listed rows to invoke the Options menu. This is the same as highlighting a row, then clicking the Options button.
