search do the right thing and expand the data before comparison?

As Paul suggested, I think it's safe to assume that SEARCH does not
bypass RMS. So, it should - by default - read through the file records
sequentially in sequence by the primary key.

Been doing too much UN*X (or some other non-VMS) lately, eh? ;-)
