This results in a html page of forms which is populated, I can tab through the fields, edit etc, but if I do a control F for instance, the values in the fields are not found.
What I would like is for users to be able to search for a value and then go tothat record
I was afraid that was what you meant. :)
It is totally OT now because what you want is to chamge / control the client side and you can't -- unless you do what the OP stated - explode the current/old values out beside the input fields as plain text.
Otherwise you will need client-side JS and DCOM programming; see

Some modification of that or maybe something from here:
