InfoPath Dev

Hi all, I want to search in a list inside infopath form and if the list item found then I want to populate the other data. Any answer how i can procede? Like there should be one textbox and a submit button, and when an user put something and click on search then if the record is present then the other fields should auto populate. Any answer?

Yes, this is easy to do.

Add a rule to your text box that has a condition. In the left side of the condition, select the field under the repeating group in the secondary data connection that you want to search. Now you should see the dropdown change to allow you to select "any occurrence of". On the right of the condition, select the current text field name. Add actions to set the values of your form to the secondary data source for the item that was found. You'll have to use the filter here with a condition of the secondary data source field equals text field value to get it to set the correct data.

Easy to do.  

I am not seeing the "any occurance of" option in the dropdown.  Let me explain what I'm doing so you can tell me where I'm going wrong.  I'm trying to use InfoPath to Search a SharePoint list.  I have my data connection all set up but I'm unable to filter my results.  I am using a Textbox for a keyword search, but it seems that no matter what I do I am unable to narrow my search.  Thank you in advance for your assistance.
