    The Search() function will let you search for any word or portion of a word in a set of columns in the data source.  The one problem is that Search isn't delegable in all data sources, for example SharePoint, so it won't work with some large data sources.  You can see the details here:

    I just noticed your second question at the bottom.  to move the text of a label to the top set the VerticalAlign property of the label to VerticalAlign.Top.
