Thanks for the ideas.

I had completely missed the concept of using "is in" as a method. To be honest I had thought these types of search wold be too slow.
Boy was I wrong. Doing a simple text on my 450,000 word text block was effectively instantaneous. Most impressive.

While the boolean searching is only one aspect of my project, it was the prime aspect upon which everything else was to hang.
