Find within a portal - HELP!

[izmatic]

Hello,

I have searched the forums, and check all my fm books, but i cant seem to find an answer. Sorry in advanced if this seems like a basic question!

I have a portal that lists student preferences and options. It is basically a one to many relationship. So a student can have 0 preferences, or they can have 100.

My question is, how do i do a search for multiple preferences within my portal?

I have tried scripts that use "Contain Found Set" and "Extend Found Set" the only problem is i can't get the exact match I am looking for.

Hope this make sense and thanks!

Is my question THAT basic? Anyone care to help, or just point me in the right direction.

It's not clear if your 'exact match' is supposed to be an AND search, an OR search, or an exact match search.

Maybe you can give a couple examples and indicate which should be found.
