Apologies for my incomprehension and possible misuse of terminology. Anyway I am trying to use Views 2 to build a Search form for my site visitors to create filtered lists of CCK nodes in my database i.e. I want them to see a search form where they can specify attributes to match against.
I have created the View successfully, exposed some filters, and I can successfully generate a simple search type form with a couple of fields displayed in a sidebar block. However what I wish to do is to create a quite complex search form using many exposed filters and display it in my main content area ( a sidebar block would be way too cramped ).
How should I approach this ? I suspect that I am missing something fundamental in my current understanding of how views works.
All assistance much appreciated.
Dave

Some options
You can create a view as a page instead of a block, or, if you would like it to appear on more than one page with other content, you can move the block to the content regions in your theme at admin/build/block and configure what pages it displays on by clicking the "configure" tab next to the listing of the block there. I recommend installing the Advanced Help module and referring to the online documentation of views to better understand it.
