You say dbf so I assume shape file?

I believe SHP files truncate field names to 8 characters, so you might want
to check that the field name is actually "street_name" and not "street_n" or
something similar.

Secondly what is the filter you are trying to define? Here's some examples:

Equal to user input? 

street_name = '$USER_VARIABLE'

Begins with user input?

street_name LIKE '$USER_VARIABLE%'

Ends with user input?

street_name LIKE '%$USER_VARIABLE'


$USER_VARIABLE is a special token that gets replaced with the actual input
value of the search command when you hit the search button.
