Global search function (several files)

[Pontus]

I've got a big database spanning over several files, those files has different fields. All this is linked together via a menu system. But, how do I do a search function that finds the criterias in more than one file? If it was so that every field was unique, this would have been no match, but now, I've got some fields that is unique, and some that isn't.

I want this search function to both contain a "multisearch" that seeks for the inputted criteria in every single field in every file, and a "normal" search function that let's you input one criteria per field. The matches should be displayed in a list and then the right one to be choosed of the user.

If I need to use a plug-in, it could maybe useful for you to know that I am using FileMaker 5 in Windows 2000.
