Subject: Re: dBase II query...

 I aggree - KWOC (keyword out of context) searches in dbase II are
very clumsy.  What I've done is to separate the keywords into
a separate field per keyword and cycle through the indexes for 
a search.

 Updateing (or adding records) becomes slow and involves re-indexing
if one has more than seven indexes with standard dBase II.4 - I
believe III has more capibility for simulataneous indexes.

 If you find a more elegant method - please tell!
