Incidentally, would putting the search in a seperate thread help with the search freezing up the rest of my app while typing?

Thanks,

Yeah, but what's the point. You can't start the second search until you have the results of the first I assume. You could wait until they've entered everything they're looking for before beginning your search too.

Your requirements seem a little weird though. Sounds like you're saying a user could type grof and frog would be returned. Without knowing what you're up to, that seems unusual.
