Programming a really custom toolbar button?

My query is a simple one, a criteria search that filters all the records in my table based on the [Description] field.
I have attached it to a button on my toolbar which allows me to; while I'm looking at my table, hit the button, the parameter request dialog appears, I type in my string, and the query table appears with all the records filtered down, I make my edits and shut down the query.

Instead of a parameter type query dialog, I want to have a toolbar button similar in style to one similar to the MS GoToField toolbar button, that will allow me to just type in the string and on enter, run the query without the parameter dialog. (Also wished it could filter the current table rather than bring up another set of records but - no biggie) Anyone know have any knowhow on creating/programming or modifying an existing MS toolbar button?
