Search by date

Let me start by saying I am relatively new to Filemaker. I am currently using FM Pro 9.
I have edited the main window of the resource management db to contain the information I require. What I need to do now, is when I click on the list view, button, I want to be able to enter a date at the top of the page, and then only the results from the table on the main page will show up. To put it into perspective, I have a bunch of machines that I want to be able to track what jobs they are on and on what days. The main records window contains the machine name and then in a portal table it contains all of the accessories, the driver of the machine, what job it is on, etc.
Right now, when I go to the list view, it will only show the machines last job detail input. The problem is, I want to be able to organize the machines several days, if not weeks or months in advance, but only want to see the job details for specific dates (i.e today's date).
Any help you can offer on this would be most helpful.
