    Contains Filter Issue

    Hello all.  I'm developing, or trying to, an InfoPath 2010 form that is in a SharePoint list.  I'm not a professional developer so please excuse my ignorance to anything below.

     

    I have two fields of concern with a specific task that I'm trying to accomplish, Lead and Short Title.  The lead field is a listing of instructor names that are cleared to teach a certain course which comes from the short title field.  The lead field contains multiple short titles in it so I can't do an equals to filter.  I have it all worked out with one exception.  I have a short title called CIM and that will also bring up lead names that are cleared to teach any course that has the letters C, I, and M in it.  For this example, it also brings up MCI.  Is there a way to make the contains filter look for the exact short title and not other variations of it?

     

    Thanks for any help you all can provide.

    The solution has been found after several hours of playing with different filters.  With multi-select list columns, you filter off of the value of the column and use the select dropdown options after selecting the value of the column.  See picture attached.
