The "@" character is a wild card character and gives FileMaker fits.
You can sometimes get results looking for just the username (to the
left of the @) or using an equals to force FileMaker to look for
exactly the following string. For example, seaching for
[EMAIL PROTECTED] would find no results, but
[EMAIL PROTECTED] would find my record.

>>
>> Hi all-
>>
>> We have an e-mail list that we send action alerts to every month through
>> e-base. Invariably, every month a few e-mails come back to us because the
>> address is bad or a person wants to be taken off the list. Here's the
>> problem... when the e-mail comes back it usually does not have any name or
>> mailing address with it. Is there a way to search e-base by
>> e-mail address?
>> We've tried doing a find and entering the e-mail address but that does not
>> work.
>>
>> Thanks for any advice you can give,
