Power Filterting for Portals
Accessing information quickly is what it's all about. Portals present the perfect opportunity to show a smaller subset of a larger amount of data. The trick is getting the smaller subset to be recognized from the larger set. This is when we arrive at the FileMaker 7 technique for filtering portals. It's a little known trick that will let you add power filtering with little (if any) cost to the size of your database.
The older method was to break out a string of text into each of its possible combined parts. You know, "matt" would be "m", "ma", "mat" and "matt". Well, do away with the costly older method and use this new power method. Watch it now and know within minutes!
