[FX.php List] character encoding issue?

[Derrick Fogle]

Calculation fields can be indexed - except in cases where they  
reference related data from a different table. If both your source  
fields are local, stored, and indexable, and your calculation field  
is in the same table, the calculation field is also stored and  
indexable for quick searching. But, enough of that...

Bob Patin's note - using the exact match "==" allows the find on un- 
modified email addresses - is a good, simple solution that works, and  
we should all be using it.

Yes, I was the first one to recommend a crazy "calculated equivalent"  
workaround. In my defense, official institutional userid's in my  
current environment are the first part of the email address, and  
there are two different domains that our users might end up having  
(student vs faculty), so my userid and domain were broken apart to  
begin with. Then I just got carried away with breaking them apart  
even when I didn't need to.
