I have not been able to get the OR function using a ";" to work in xref lookups. According to the docs putting a semicolon between words in the search criteria should return records that have one OR the other. I.e. FL ; CA should return records with FL or CA in the field.

At first I thought it might be because I had defined ";" to be a word delimiter, but even changing that did not fix the problem.

I am using the Quick event that generates the lookup dialog box, not btree.extract.

I'm using OI 4.1.2

Yes, I did see your earlier response. However, you were referring to the use of btre.extract, I believe. I am simply using the quick event.

Don,

I made more than one reply. In one of them I pointed out that index lookup uses a particular function - for which we have the source - that in turn uses Btree.Extract. Study that function and you'll see why your effort fails. I also suggested a possible change to that function. Etc. See .

I can try to clarify or help you further if I haven't explained properly.

Oystein,

Thanks for the clarification on the Lookup function. I think I understand how it works and what to do about it.
