Hello there,

I was wondering how I could make a specific type of search when the string has more 
than one word.

Ex.---------------------------------------------

String = "Green Apple"

Select * from fruits
where

(fruits.color like '%Green Apple%'
or fruits.type like '%Green Apple%')

------------------------------------------------

What I thought was breaking the string in 2 words and compares each word with the 
fields. The problem is that I can't control how many fields should be compared.

Also don't know how to compare each word. The following syntax doesn't work:

-----------------------------------------------

Select * from fruits
where

(fruits.color like in ('%Green%', '%Apple%')
or fruits.type like in ('%Green%', '%Apple%')

-----------------------------------------------

Any ideas would be very thankful.

Cheer's
