You can create a query that filters the long text field (and I'll bet that the real name is NOT actually Longtext_Field and that you've aliased it for "simplicity") so that the recordset returns all of the fields which match one or more of the keywords. What you need, in addition to the field itself, is the identification of the records in that table; in other words, the returned recordset needs to include two fields:
a) the field in question and
b) the PRIMARY KEY of the record
So, if you add the PK from "Longtext_Table" to the query, you'd probably get what you want.
