Try using one of the following in your query statements:
1.
Where tableField1 = '#form.variable#'
2.
Where tableField1 LIKE '#form.variable#%'
The % is a "wild card" so bu would return anything that started with bu, ie
bulb, bulbous but not xbulb
3.
Get one of Uncle Ben's (or someone's) books ;-)

There are two things that I'm trying to figure out how to do: an Exact
Search - if I put in a search for "bulb" it would return only "bulb" not
"bulbous".
Secondly, I've got a client who wants a search which will search only
beginning of word: For instance a search for, "bu" would return "bulbous"
but not "babudigalia".
Has anyone done either of these before? I'd appreciate any idea of where to
start to build this.
Thanks a lot!
