Example : One of your forms instance a Foreign Key to an account. This account link with #__users table in 1:1.

Use or not the searchtools layouts given by Joomla ?
My opinion is 'searchtools' is very complex and difficult to custom. Some Cook filters goes beyond the simple combo (ajax, ranges, dates, multiple searches possibles ...)
