Just use a normal TIB_Edit for search with datasource property the same as
the normal edit TIB_Edit and change from program the tab page and
data source state accordingly (i.e. is TIB_Datasource.State=dssSearch
then set the page index from page control to the search page AND
if you change the page index to search change the state of datasource
to dssSearch...use the On... events.

Use the same TIB_UpdateBar with post/cancel buttons.
