How to search for CLOB item in Form?

Question

I create a table
CREATE TABLE PHOTOS
(PHOTO_ID VARCHAR2(15) NOT NULL,
PHOTO_IMAGE BLOB,
TEXT_DESCRIPTION CLOB,
FILENAME VARCHAR2(50),
FILE_SIZE NUMBER NOT NULL,
ACCESS_RIGHT VARCHAR2(7) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT CK_ACCESS_RIGHT CHECK (ACCESS_RIGHT IN ('PRIVATE', 'PUBLIC')),
CONSTRAINT PK_PHOTOS PRIMARY KEY (PHOTO_ID)
create index idx_photos_text_desc on
PHOTOS(TEXT_DESCRIPTION) indextype is ctxsys.context;
INSERT INTO PHOTOS VALUES
('P00000000000001', empty_blob(), empty_clob(),
'SCGP1.JPG',100,'PUBLIC');
INSERT INTO PHOTOS VALUES
('P00000000000002', empty_blob(), 'Cold Play with me at the concert in Melbourne 2005',
'COLDPLAY1.JPG',200,'PUBLIC');
INSERT INTO PHOTOS VALUES
('P00000000000003', empty_blob(), 'My parents in Melbourne 2001',
'COLDPLAY1.JPG',200,'PRIVATE');
COMMIT;
EXEC CTX_DDL.SYNC_INDEX('idx_photos_text_desc');
I created a Form which maintains the above table. I found that the Query By Example does not work for TEXT_DESCRIPTION which is CLOB.
How can I search text in CLOC using Forms?

What version of forms? There is a Forms/CLOB bug that gets fixed in 10g Forms.
