So... it searches the file, or the url itself for the text? Not the address of the url (the content of the field itself) but the page (or file)?

Hypothetical: I have a series of client records, and each record has a field called 'CLIENTELE' that stores the url for each client's portfolio page. Let's say each client (or most) have some page that lists the various companies in their portfolio. If I understand correctly, I could then search within that field for '...Coca-Cola...' and would receive a list of client records whose portfolio pages (http://blah..blah../portfolio.htm) matched against '...Coca-Cola...'

So I would be able to search my clients to see which ones have done work for Coca-Cola?

Is that correct?

Hmmm.... lot of uses for something like that! Very cool.

Terrific feature! Will come in VERY handy!

It can search either within that element or searches universally.

I assume it can be set similar to a standard search, so instead of "Get Ohio" you could have "Other" with a search specification along the lines of: State (field) not in "^OH^NY^MA^TX^"

And between the colons, can you put any expression that will produce a boolean result, including one with user-defined functions?

Sesame 3 - Breaking News
In Sesame 3, SBasic now lets you group a list of elements and refer to that list by the group name. Anything you do to the group will be done to each element in the group. For example:

// Group the Company, Add1, and First elements
GroupElements("Test", Company, Add1, First)
Color(@("Test"), 2, 1) // Color each of the elements in the group 

You can also map a list of values to the elements in the group with one line of code.

//Places "one" in Company, "two" in Add1, and "three" in First
MapValues(@("Test"), "one;two;three") 

That is such a simple thing, but I like it on the right much better.   

Just wondering if there will a way to do exports or reports that are xml.  We currently use csv but have been asked by our clients to supply data in xml format.
