Displaying a List Using Search List and Show Data

As we saw above, the Show Data command is used to display data contained in a List.  When dragging a List from the palette, there are actually two commands added to your page:  Search List and Show Data.  To retrieve the data you want from a List, you need to search the list using a Search List command.  The results from this search are displayed by Show Data.
