Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm storing names (fullname and synonym1) into a hash like below:<br />
<br />
$MyHash{$Id} = {id =&gt; $Id, fullName =&gt; $FullName, synonym1 =&gt; $Synonym1};<br />
<br />
How can I search whether a string is found in the fullname or synonym1 ?<br />
<br />
Eg.<br />
<br />
$String = &quot;Bill&quot;<br />
if &quot;Bill&quot; exist in fullname or synonym1 return true<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Nick<br />
