Search within record sets

Hi BDB users!
One can search or run a query in BDB only if the records are stored in folders/folder variable. Is there any possibility we can search within recordset and display the value in the main window or left query window. Using filtering recordset I can bring the result but what I need is to display the result in the main or left query window not in the popup window. Any idea?
In other way how to display the filtered recordset(not through query) through query window.
