I am building a custom solution for my company that tries to replicate the functionality people are used to in a series of text-based documents. One of the things I have been asked to produce is a method for highlighting specific text on screen when viewing historic log notes.  In some cases, we have decades of notes for a customer, so simply looking through those records is impractical, and the users want to be able to view the found note in the context of other notes, chronologically, so I can't just have them perform a find for the specific text. 

Is there a way to jump to the specific row of a portal that contains a specific text string without actually filtering the portal results?

 

I am using Filemaker Pro 15 on Windows 7.

Come to think of it, you could probably just use Find/Replace to highlight the found text and to move to the next (or previous) occurrence. This could be scripted, as shown in the attached file. Note that we are using a calculation field to prevent accidental modification of the original.
