I do not know, whether I undersatnd the problem, and if I do, I do not
know how one could do what you are asking for "on the fly".
The only solution I can think of, is to (temporary) -decode- your
variable (which substitutes values with their value label) and search
the resulting string variable using -strmatch-.
An alternative might be to loop over each value label, which will be
very slow and you probably do not want to do this.
