What would be the best substitute for "find records" button?

I've been blamed for putting unuser-friendly find button, which is really
confusing to them. What I am looking for now is a basic search function to
search for records based on firstname, lastname, phone no, or mob ph, ect.
What would be my options? I was thinking of a query for now, but what would
be the criteria for that kind of query?
Thank you for any help

You cant get much easier that placing a combobox on the form and following
the wizard to set up the
lookup.

I am sorry, but I am relatively new, how do I go about finding that wizard
after combo box creation?
thanks

You don't find the wizard after creation, it is used in the process of
creation. On your toolbar, look for the icon with the magic wand and stars.
You will only see it in form design mode. Make sure it is selected. In
2000, it will appear as sunken, in 20003, it will have an outline around it.
Then select the combo box icon, click on your form where you want the combo
box to be, and the wizard will pop up.
