Sure. If DOB is entered, it is recognized as such and used in the search. For 
all other (non-parseable) purposes, we can have a row of buttons besides the 
combo box where you enter the search term.
search term + "Enter" activates default, 
search term +"Tab" + "Enter" the next preferece and so on.
