Hi,

I have a controller which I have used from a glorious Bob Buzzard blog:
 

public class CSTHomeController 
{
 public String nameQuery {get; set;}
 public List<Complaints__c> com {get; set;}
  
 public PageReference executeSearch()
 {
  String queryStr='%' + nameQuery + '%';
  com=[select id, 
              Name, 
              Patient_Name_Reference__c,
              Date_and_time_complaint_lodged__c,
              Complainant_Type__c 
            from Complaints__c 
            where Patient_Name_Reference__c like :queryStr];
            
  return null;
 }
  
 public CSTHomeController ()
 {
  // if query appears in URL, execute it
  String urlQuery=ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('query');
   
  if ( (null!=urlQuery) && (0!=urlQuery.length()) )
  {
   nameQuery=urlQuery;
   executeSearch();
  }
 }
}

This works perfectly, but I want to use several of these searches together on one page.  The above is for a complaints object, but we have a customer feedback object and an audits object which I want to use this for.  I am building a visualforce page which will become a Customer Service Team landing page and they can search across these different objects but ....

How do I add more searches onto the same controller?

Visualforce Page with duplicated search in very early stages of development:
 

<apex:page controller="CSTHomeController">
   <style type="text/css">
   
h1 { 
    display: block;
    font-size: 18pt;
    font-family: arial;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-align: center;
}

</style>
