 * I have an 800 item equipment list and the literal search is not capable of discovering
   much in this acronym rich and high precision list. Is there a way to implement
   partial search matches using abase? I suspect this could be handled via a well
   structured query, but, as an abase newbie I remain syntax challenged when invoking
   search mode.

 * The topic **LIKE rather than EQUALS** will probably answer your question.
