1) Add an index weight value to your "Postal Code" column in the Links table.

2) Re-index your Links table.

3) Enter a number via your search form.

Voila!

Actually i may have explained that wrong, I have the postal codes in the description box. i also have some titles with numbers ex. 3M Inc. when I do a search for 3M nothing comes back even though 3M exists in the database. :/

I believe searches only work on strings of text 3 or more characters in length.

I think I saw something on this board not too long ago that discussed a hack to allow two character searches. Sorry, don't remember the subject line of the thread, however...
