Nigel,
When you perform a find in FileMaker, the "Records" menu changes to
become the "Requests" menu (at least it does on 6.0v4).
Once you perform a find, say, for "apple" you can then call another
find, type in your request, this time, for "pear" and then go to the
"Requests" menu and choose "Extend Found Set." This will do as it says,
and add those records which contain "pear" to those records that you
have already found to contain "apple."
There is also a "Constrain Found Set" item in the "Requests" menu that
will narrow your search.
Hope this helps!

I often want to find records in FileMaker from an AppleScript list of

to find
every record whose cell "Fruit" contains any of {"apple","pear"}
