Not to fuel a feud, but in this case Ken is right and Grant is wrong...If you specify the seed parameter (even if specified as blank) in an encrypt context, your resulting encrypted string will be different from one encryption to the next, so you CANNOT compare (or search) the encrypted strings, but you CAN decrypt the string and compare, view or use as you wish.
