Hello All,

I have a work book that contains a flat database
(table). My user would like to type a keyword(s) that
are contained in a particular field and then return a
list of records that contain the keyword(s).

I would like to do this using userforms? maybe a list box
to show the results. I need help with the code that will
search the field and return the information. I am open
to all suggestions.

Thanks in advance

I think the proble with using a filter is that I need to
search a single word in a sentence. Every line or string
of text is unique.

Ex:

"Shot of girl holding lolipop against a white background."

The user may be looking for one or a few of the words in
the description above.

Thanks again
