Spotlight Filter

[Dave Graham]

Here's a technique to implement live (i.e., as-you-type) Spotlight-style filters using FileMaker 10's new event model. This technique does add a bit of bloat in order to store and index exploded keys, but you can adapt this technique to utilize FileMaker's Find Mode as well. Have fun!

Thank you David, have added this to my solution in multiple places eliminating the need for zippscript plugin. I am using to run a find on a list view. I also too I can now use a trigger to TAB into fields in the header if the record is not open. :

I'm having trouble getting this to work in my solution. Would you be willing to take a look at it and help me troubleshoot?
