So user value contains text cannot be a wild card? I have not tried it but I had expected that to work.

I think it is easy to forget that discussion forums started back in the Arpanet days. I was using it in 1970. Of course, technically, we were using terminals and connecting to a mainframe. Our current forum has threads from 2002.
