Find restricted to the current card?

[Jim Ault]

if you
lock screen
put the sort id of this card into baseCd
push card
-- find
if the short id of this card is baseCd then exit to top
else
   answer 'the hit is not on the card you started on'
   pop card
end if

--the unlock screen will happen at the exit of the handler automatically

---
and this can get you close to your goal.  You may have to deal with  
user interface issues when their are multiple hits on one card and in  
multiple fields.  The surround rectangle may be difficult to manage,  
so you may have to find a way to select the hit string with code vs  
native Find command

Hope this helps
