Hi,

I am working on a solution that searches then charts the results, how can I also include the find criteria in the chart? Hope there is a way to capture the find criteria so that it can be used in a global field or script.

If you have a limited number of find criteria you could create a layout using global fields each of which would represent a field which might be searched. You then create the find in a script when the user clicks a button. In this way you will have all the find criteria available to you. You can probably find a ready made demonstration file of this technique. Maybe you should post again asking for that.

Does seems strange, in view of the comprehensive set of Get() functions, that there does not seem to be one that does what you want,

It's not so strange when you consider how complex find criteria can get. You can have multiple find requests, each searching in multiple fields - including fields in related tables. The entire criteria is a mini-database with tables and fields of its own. You can see it - or at least a part of it - if you do Modify Last Find.
