Abstract: The disclosure presents a method, application, client and server that process search commands for a database. The method executes instructions on processors at a client and at a server the server controlling a database. First, instructions at the client determine first commands associated with a first gestures for a record; receive a gesture imparted on a touchscreen at the client; compare the gesture against the first gestures; and if the gesture matches one the first gestures, send a command mapped to the gesture to the server to be initiated to the database. Then, instruction at the server: receive the command; identify an identifier for the record; execute a query for the command and identifier; retrieve results; and send the results to the client. Then, instructions at the first processor: receive the results; display a list of the results; and determine second commands associated with second gestures.
