“Text with check box Search” : Entries of this type behave the same way as a normal text field except when used on a search screen or as a search field in a report or group. When used on a search screen or as a search field, the user can select from ‘Has Value’, ‘Is Empty’ or ‘Either’ radio buttons. The translations for these options can be customized in Administration | Translations. The fields on type “Text with check box search” on the Search screens are displayed as:

“Text type” : Entries of this type of field behave the same in both entry screen as well as search screen.
