Actually there ARE problems with finding numbers formatted
differently. I just ran into this problem with a database.
If you are searching for "22" in a listing that has a number
formatted "00022" one has to modify the search terms accordingly, or
set the numberformat of the search string to match the expected
format in the list. This method still expects consistency in the
listing or the search term. I chose the latter of setting the
numberformat of the search string because my data source, the SQL
database, had been formatted long ago, in a HC stack. It works
perfectly now.

Well, numbers are strings in Transcript - a number in a field is no
different from any other string - so there shouldn't be any problem
with numbers or any need for a special numeric mode. I agree with
the person who asked for an example of a search that is failing.
