Hello everyone, I'm cleaning data and prototyping rudimentary databases in Mathematica. I have a few data arrays, consisting of a few thousand lines each. I'd like to be able to search the arrays for lines (lists) containing search strings by typing into a text field and having the hits appear as I'm typing the search string, sort of like Spotlight on the Mac does. This may be something as simple as using Select within the Manipulate combined with ControlActive. Has anyone tinkered with something like this? Gregory
