Set up a search routine

[cjsarge]

How do I create a routine where you can type in a subject, name, phrase, etc and click on the "Search" button and the coding will find (or not) that entry and return with what you are looking for. I can create the box and the "search" icon but can't get the actual search procedure to work. Can anyone help me?

What type of "routine"?

What "coding"?

What "entry", and where are the entries stored, and in what format?

How do you want them "returned"?
