I have a calc field that places a small graphic (red arrow)from a Global Container Field in a field called "urgent"

Now what I would like to do is find all records that are urgent. This is not date dependent. I'm not sure if I can run a find on a calc field...

Why try? Even if you could, I doubt FM could index an container field and finds would be slow. Just create another "Flag" field duplicating (almost) the calculation for your container, except make the result a "1" if the urgent conditions exist. Make sure this field is stored so it will be indexed. Perform your "urgent" find on this new field.

Wow... dupicate (almost). I'm not quite sure what that means...

(...puts on mind-reading turban...)

It means your original calc is probably something like this:

Case (House = "On Fire", Urgent)

So you could use almost the same calc:

Case (House = "On Fire", 1)

The latter returns a number result rather than a container.

I'm wondering if you'll need to do this, though. What are the conditions of your original calc, the one that sets the "Urgent" graphic? Could you just script a search based on that? I.e., in the example above, I could just search for "On Fire."

PS: Yes, you can search on calc fields, but not containers. (Certain types of calcs cannot be stored/indexed, so you want to avoid searching them, it can be sloooooow.)
