I am wondering if it is possible to create a report that asks the user for a value to be found in a multiline text field.  For instance, when I click to generate the report a field will display asking what you would like to search for.  If I entered the value "Jason", it would search all records that have the word "Jason" in a particular text field.

Is this possible?

np,

You can make a report with a filter of <ask the user>.   That is one of the choices when you are building a report filter.  So typically the filter would be like

where [PRODUCT NAME] Contains <ask the user>

If you use a Contains search, then user does need to be perfect in their data entry.
