Rob,

I haven't tried these, but I'll bet they work:

Assume each card has a custom property "recordType" that defines the 
type of record for the data on that card.

unmark all cards
mark cards where the recordType = "foo"
mark cards where fld fldName contains yourSearch

or

unmark all cards
mark cards where the recordType = "foo" and fld fldName contains 
yourSearch

Let me know if it works.
