fast search or scan for words in selected field

Hi,

We currently have customer master file which has customer company name
field. Customer company name field is 20 long, if this field has "MY
TEST COMPANY" description saved then we have another program which will
make three records for this records in our custom file, first records
with their customer number and name  will have "MY" and second record
will have "TEST" and the third record will have "COMPANY". We have to do
this for fast search by any description given by customers.  Our files
are getting huge and want to know if there is another quick way to
handel this on green screen. I thank you for your time.

Wayne
