Often width of columns in grid are to small and it shows only a part of
search conditions. You can "enhance" TIB_SearchPanel to show lookup buttons.
I use same setup for grid and searchpanel. Before I encapsulated it into
it's own component I used to use this style:

with IB_SearchPanel1 do
for i:=0 to ControlCount-1 do begin
if (Controls[i] is TIB_Date) then (Controls[i] as
TIB_Date).OnKeyPress:=FormKeyPress;
if (Controls[i] is TIB_Edit) then
with (Controls[i] as TIB_Edit) do begin
OnKeyPress:=FormKeyPress;
if IsWordPresent(uppercase(DataField),
uppercase(IB_Grid1.EditLinks.CommaText), [ ',']) then begin
AlwaysShowButton:=True;
ButtonStyle:=ebsEllipsis;
OnButtonClick:=ButtonClick;
end;
end;
end;

BTW, IsWordPresent is a function of RxLib;

HTH, too.
