Jeff:

I would like to throw in my 1.5 cents worth on something I
would like to see fixed -- btree indices and DBFIND....

Consider the entry in the db record is stored as "LIVE AT LEEDS".

If I do a dbfind mode4 with a search string of "LIVE" the entry is returned.

If I do a dbfind mode4 with a search string of "LEEDS" the dbfind returns
a 17 (no entry).

The dbfind should find the entry regardless of which position in the record
the value is. (Something like Omnidex and Superdex).


Thanks,
Brian Donaldson.
