Put a '=' (no quotes) in the field. See the symbols menu on the left side of the
screen during finds. Also highly recommended to read the section on finds in your FMP

an auto-reminder feature, but it never got done. Would be fairly easy for an
experienced FMP programmer to add, however.
I would like to find a way to take advantage of this feature
