How to extract data from a Memo field for selective printing

I am trying to add data from a Memo field to a report but have a phrase that is repeated in many of the records. Printing this field has increased the report size from 13 pages to 83 pages (not a good thing). My initial thought to create a subreport, selecting the text field if it does (or does-not) contain the phrase, but the selection wizard in CR 9 does not allow a conditional select of Memo fields. Any suggestions?
 
Why cant you just make a formula field equal the memo field based on that condition
