has some tips on (legal) performance enhancement, so I may be testing those out next.

ItвЂ™s acceptable for me now over a remote connection a couple states away, but our nascent file has all of 10 records in it. IвЂ™ll need to see what the performance is like.

Super-simple to implement across the solution.

Will filter based on any part of the word (or phone number).

Other keys: if you abstract the script like I did, remember to give an object name to the global filter so you can pass it into the script and navigate back to it after refreshing the portal. I admit that setting the $param variable is unnecessary, but I get itchy if I type вЂњGet (scriptParameter)вЂќ more than once, so setting that variable is a little reflexive at this point.ДЄnd yes, the script comments are longer than the script itself. HereвЂ™s the sample file if you want to see it in action: FilteredPortals.fmp12 With the help of a nothing-fancy custom function to parse my parameters (which you can check out in the attached sample file), hereвЂ™s the final script:

Go back to the filter field so the user doesnвЂ™t notice the system doing anythingД«ecause IвЂ™m going to be applying this all over the place, though, I needed to abstract it a bit.

Set a field in the portal to itself (shortcut to essentially refresh the cache).

Commit Records (so the changes the user makes to the global are recorded).

So IвЂ™m pleased when I can incorporate something for them pre-emptively rather than reactively.

I have to confess that PC users are more of an afterthought for me because IвЂ™m evidently a self-centered, self-indulgent Mac user. On my way to that answer, I came across another great tip from a commenter on : using Set Field to set a field within the portal to itself - rather than Refresh Window (flush joined cache results) - will reduce screen-flash for our PC-using friends.

(Thanks, !) (And perhaps I shouldnвЂ™t code in the middle of the night.) Or frankly responsive in any way.ДЄ quick Google and the FileMaker community reminded me that I need to flush the cache. PatternCount ( SES_FND_Fund::Rating SES_Session::Filter_Deals_g ) > 0Д«ut it wasnвЂ™t instant. PatternCount ( SES_FND_Fund::Status SES_Session::Filter_Deals_g ) > 0

PatternCount ( SES_FND_Fund::Nickname SES_Session::Filter_Deals_g ) > 0 вЂ¦and the logic, allowing for the filter to be empty as well: SES_Session::Filter_Deals_g = ''
