SEEK() won't work, unless you have an index like:

INDEX ON "My string" $ MyMemo TAG MyTag

Which is not likely, since the string is hard coded and you would need an index for each string you want to search. The following will work, but may be slow on a large table, since Rushmore can't kick in:

LOCATE FOR "My string" $ MyMemo

IF Found()
   ...
ENDIF
