There's no need in repeating what I've already said regarding why I don't think there has been much demand for this feature, and why I think the lack of it is bad for VistA. Suffice it to say, that among Codd's rules, I consider the non-subversion rule one of the most important, if not THE most important. > > I also think that I have looked at this closer than others and believe > I am closer to being able to figure out how to write an API that would > plug into the core functionality of Fileman's SEARCH code.

Exposing search functionality as a DBS call would be a great first step, but I think it really can and should be optimized, too. > Its just > that it would likely take me quite a while to get it fully working. > And its just easier to write my own search code each time I need this. > I really wish someone smarter than I (Hint, Hint, George Timpson) > would plug this hole.
