I return a list from a database into a datagrid.  I then have a text 
entry field with a keydown event set to call a function.
The function runs though the currently loaded like, compares what is in 
the text entry field's .text property and creates a array with only 
those entries then resets the dataprovider parameter of the datagrid to 
the filtered list.  Here is the code

private function filterlist() {
    var TempObject:Object = new Object();
    var RunningArray:Array = new Array();
    for(var i=0; i < OTD_TECH_RESULTS.dataProvider.length; i++){
     TempObject = OTD_TECH_RESULTS.dataProvider[i];
     if ( TempObject.INTERNAL_CASE_NUMBER.indexOf(search.text)) {
         RunningArray.push(TempObject);
        }
    }
    OTD_TECH_RESULTS.dataProvider = RunningArray;
    OTD_TECH_RESULTS.dataProvider.dispatchEvent({type: "modelChanged"});
}

INTERNAL_CASE_NUMBER is one of the columns

What happens is that it gives me no entries once I type the first 
character, and even when I got it to return results it wouldn't seem to 
update once I hit a second key unless I hit backspace first.

I am using indexOf because I couldn't find a find command anywhere.

Any ideas how I can make this work?
