It's been about a year since I used this and I can't remember the syntax to save my life. I beleive it was something like 'seek for string $ in feild' the $ being the 'contained in' statement. Also I'm trying to get a search to ignore certain charecters, i.e. if I do a search for a p/n like 1234-1234 and there is a ','comma instead of a '-' dash.
