Is that correct, and do I actually have to create a temporary INDEX ON 'blah' so I can do a search in the view.

Thanks Edward -

Can you also tell me whether this is efficient - i.e. is it relatively fast to create these kind of indexes each time (I usually think of indexing as a rather slow process) I want to search through my view? I'm asking because I didn't know if my approach on this needed to be revised?
