[FX.php List] How do I specify an "Exactly Equal To" search?

[Jon & Jane Montgomery]

Steve,

Thank you for pointing that out.  I knew that was not fx.php that I posted,
but could not remember the correct fx.php syntax.  I apologize in that for
the past several years I have been forced to use a plug in so my limited
fx.php skills left me me and I am now trying to return to them and advance
them.  I almost did not post because of this, but then thought someone much
smarter than me would point it out and I would learn from it.

Thanks Steve!

Jon Montgomery
