Search looks anywhere inside a string.

Use [Live] to force the string to start and stop with what you want.  The help file has more details.

I initially tried [live] as the help file states it should return what is exactly (starts with stops with) contained in brackets, and from what you're saying I guess this means I am searching for a particular instance of a field that in this case just has "live" in it....because I return zero search results with [live].

I don't want to find an isolated instance of "live" but the word "live" in a field with other characters. "Live" seems to be what I am looking for except that one instance of "Alive". When I type live without quotes I return results similar to Alive in which the string of letter l-i-v-e are present.

I'm just up tending to a teether and I'll check the help file with more depth tomorrow.

thanks
JC

search for "live" (with the quotes) to return instances where live appears anywhere in the string.
