There is a function called CVTYPE you can use to determine data type. What I did was to create a custom search form with a Variable Edit to contain the string to search for, Variable Radio Group to select what to search, and a Variable List View to display the search results.
There is another pretty slick method to search all your desired columns but it is an example shown in the Super Advanced training. So I don't believe I am at liberty to share it. If Razzak wants to share it he can.

Hi all, I want my user to be able to have the option of entering a birthday, last name, client ID (an integer less than 999999) or a phone number (a number greater than 1000000) in order to select the desired client. What is the best way to determine the type of data that was entered? Is there a funtion that returns the data type? >
