Sorry, it can only search on things that exist. The are an infinite number of things that don't exist. Here's something to try: force the user to put each word into a separate textbox, and then do a separate search for for each of those words. When a search turns up 0, you know they've typed something that doesn't exist in the database.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
