Using Find from an external file

Hi, I'm very new to Filemaker, and I'm under the assumption this has to be possible, but I don't know how to acheive it.

I have a long list of records in filemaker that I would like to perform a multiple record find on, only for one field - I can do this manually, creating a new find request and typing in the terms one at a time. But there are a huge amount of terms I want to include in the find request.

I would like to be able to use an external file that could load each line as a new find request.

Any ideas how to accomplish this?

Thanks.
