Speed Up Wildcard Searches in Microsoft Access

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I'm going to teach you a trick for speeding up the apparent speed of wildcard searches so that if the user searches for the complete actual value, it will provide results much quicker.

Michael from Council Bluffs, Iowa (a Platinum Member) asks: I love the single-field search button you showed us in one of your videos. I have one minor problem, however. When I use it to search for a field like email address, it takes forever. If I use the actual Access search box and type in the complete email address, it finds it almost instantly. Is there any way to speed up your search?
