Default Search by Keywor for Dummies

My data is shown via a form, as is usual. What I would like to do is include
a button on that form that will allow my users to search the entire table
which this form is linked to for a keyword that they type in which will then
be presented via that same form. Is there an easy way to do this? I am not a
programmer but a humble macro user...

Do you want to search *all fields* in the table? or just a specific field?

Do you want to find the keyword if it appears embedded in other text in the
field, or just the field value itself?

More info please!
