And you might be better off making a file of the soundex of the search 
words versus the search words themselves.

You could either rebuild the search file periodically, or put a trigger on 
the master to update the search file if the customer name changed.

Or do both.

RE: fast search or scan for words in selected field






Well, how about this scenario then?  Would this be a successful 
alternative?
 Could a file of the search words be made, as is presently being done? 
Then
use SQL to search that base?  An advantage of SQl then would be to allow
searches on matching two or more of the keywords? 



But the discussions on Soundex, etc. seems like a real winner though. 
Where
would we learn more about that?

I'm with Joe on this one.  I can't see how indices would help with

substring searches.  Then again, just because I can't comprehend it

doesn't mean it wouldn't.
