    A little confused. Are trying to filter for an @ sign instead of using it as the ignore capitalization flag?

    The purpose is to filter a form in the Description field all those texts which contain the @ character, but since this is a character from system to put * @ * does not filter anything

    I am not sure off hand the exact format (and I am Certain it is in the help somewhere), but start working with something like:

    MyField.setfilter('%1','john@mibuso.com');

    or

    MyField.setfilter('*%1*','@');
