Seeking Search Guidance

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Byron,

Check the filter command :-)

In the script of the input field:
on rawKeyUp
   filter tRefList with me & "*" -- input is at the beginning of the 
lines
   put tText into fld "Result"
end rawKeyUp

filter tText with "*" & tKey & "*" -- input is anywhere in the lines
