On my Treo 600 I find it is easier to simply use the
Global Find feature to search for things, so I enabled
Global Find support in DB. I have a database that has
an INTEGER field in it, and I find I cannot search on this
field this way. Searching on text fields works fine.

I built a sample database to test this out, that had one
of each field type. The following field types work fine
with Global Find:

STRING
NOTE
LIST

These fields do not work with Global Find:

INTEGER
FLOAT
BOOLEAN (tried "true" and "yes")
DATE (tried "May 12, 2004" and "5/12/2004")
TIME

Tested with the latest production release of DB, 1.1.0
