Re: inmate search engine

That's not how the data is stored. The search field has the entire record in one field with the array keys and values separated by colons with only a space between fields:

Moniker: Mart System Name: brother Dan's 3 channel System Rev Date: 2001/08/21/10:10 System Rev IP: 155.218.112.2 Amp: Aragon : 8008×3 BDR : Mark IV cones Preamp: Marantz ......

Also, the keys don't match the labels on the form, eg Amp versus Amplifier. A Slow Message search for 'Speakers: Quad' might work but isn't that robust or realiable as if wouldn't work if the data was 'Speakers: Maggie 1.6, Quad'.

The actual system data is stored in a text file as this app was done before we implemented the db. Searching is supported via a patch to dump the data into a system table that is defined like a message search table. So doing this right requires rewriting the data pieces to use the db and rewriting the search routine to search sub-fields in a new table for systems.
