Is your search target a single field, or perhaps just a few fields? I imagine so.
My suggestion is to create a single record in a new table called Search. Add just 1 record ot that table. It will be record ID#1.
Make 1 field as a large text field data entry field.
On the search target table put a formula numeric field with a formula of 1.
make a relationship to the details table and lookup the search target text.
Make a report where the [search target text lookup] contains the search target field in the details table.
Use that report as a report link field report on your search target single record.
So you should be able to just edit the search record, save, and see the hits on the embedded report.
