I found an easy way to search LONG data type fields for any text string.

I created a new Crystal Report, based on a query that selected the LONG data field from a table. Once I had the data in Crystal, I chose File, Print, Export and chose to export as an Adobe PDF file.
Once the report was in Adobe, I could use Adobe's SEARCH utility to find any text string.
