Isn't that essentially a UI question? "filter" and "find" are logically the same process, it is just a matter of how you display the results.
Are you talking about using a DataGrid? Filter the data into a "found" collection, the navigate that collections however you want (next, prev, first, last?), and use the reference in the found collection to set the selectedItem in the main table.

I have seen the information on creating filters but they all filter out (read: remove from visibility) all the data that falls outside the filter. In other words, I need to figure out how enable a search that acts the same as doing a 'find' in a webbrowser...a user enters a search criteria and the focus goes to any instance of that search criteria. Thanks, Adrian
