I had a similar problem a while back and solved it by using seperate where
clauses.
I found I was able to optimise the statements by placing the indexed fields
first and it prevented cross field matches.
Try something like
Select Code, desc, price, cost, qoh ;
from winstoks ;
where ;
(lcSearch $ name) OR ;
(lcSearch $ code) OR ;
(lcSearch $ stkmemo) OR ;
(lcSearch $ unitmeas2) OR ;
(lcSearch $ altsupply) OR ;
(lcSearch $ descopt2) OR ;
(lcSearch $ descopt3) OR ;
(lcSearch $ descopt4) OR ;
(lcSearch $ descopt5) OR ;
(lcSearch $ bar2code) OR ;
(lcSearch $ bar3code) OR ;
(lcSearch $ alt2code) ;
order By Code ;
Into Table temp
