>In case my question is not perfectly clear, I will elaborate here. I want a search utility that presents the end user with a single field, in which the end user can type in one or more key worlds, hit enter, and quickly generate a results browse. The single field can accomodate individual words, phrases in quotation marks, and combinations of the two.

>I assume someone has figured this out already. Maybe I am not finding the answer because I am not searching for the right key words! What are the right key words in FoxPro terminology?
