Hi Stanley,<br>

Well, the most I used it was on a Tandy, Xenix, two 8" floppies, a
5 meg hard drive, and dumb terminals. Although it was slow, it
was consistent in providing correct data. You can test it on your
system by going into IUA and selecting option 6. On my home
system, it ran in a flash. I would assume that my Windose 10 is
slower than your *nix. There is one item that be more beneficial
and that is the phonetic search. Typing errors can still provide
correct info. I tried typing in bleu and then blue. Both provided
the same info.<br>
<br>
With a fuzzy browse you may not need a drop command due to
processing by record order number.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">Its been
over 20 years since I’ve tried using a fuzzy search. Not
sure why I abandoned yet. Have you found it to be reliable,
meaning you will always get the correct matches? Would it
return records containing a string reliably, as I have never
expected it to do that at all. In the meantime, I will look
at it again. Speed is going to be very important for this
use case. Image a clerk entering a 20 line item invoice
where they would be doing a search in each line item… I
feel a lot of user pain… What has been your experience?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Stanley,<br>
<br>
Regarding your need to retrieve data from a long field, have
you tried doing a fuzzy browse look up?<br>
You can specify the number of records to list in the browse.<br>
<br>
The draw back is that if your file is large, it may take a few
seconds to display your information.<br>
