The find method

[Keith Jones]

Hi all,

a couple of questions about the find method. The spec for the method states that "A non-null value in criteria[n] matches any field value that begins with criteria[n]" and elsewhere in the document it says that the system must allow the user to search "... for records where the name and/or location fields exactly match values specified by the user".

1. This seems a little confusing to me. Our find method can easily find records where the field value begins with criteria[n] but we are also required to match name and/or location exactly. Taking both of these musts together does this mean "at least exactly match"?

2. I assume that the find method matches a record if all fields match.

Happy new year to all at Java Ranch.
