esteshk Posted April 7, 2001 Share Posted April 7, 2001 Jimi, Simply type =abc and your search will return an exact match! flash_test.fp7.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimi Posted April 12, 2001 Author Share Posted April 12, 2001 Oh! So search for "abc" and search for "=abc" are different? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esteshk Posted April 12, 2001 Share Posted April 12, 2001 Yes! A search for "abc" will return all records that contain "abc" anywhere in the field being searched. This way you can search for all the "Smiths" in your database by typing "Smi" in the field that contains last names. Note that you will also get all the Smithfields, Smiles, Wordsmiths, etc. To find just the Smiths, in your find type "=Smith".
