sql server programming: So, search related to searching on the internet, searching the file system,
searching through a database, searching a string...

Could you, if it's not too much trouble, let us in on your intentions -it
would be so much easier to help you if you would.

I start by checking my pockets. Then I check the pockets of whatever
I had on yesterday. Then I look in the seat cushions, maybe check the
car... try to remember where I had it last, try to think if anyone
else might have taken it. Sometimes I ask my wife to help look. If I
do find it, it always ends up being in the last place I look.

YMMV.

Searching by Donald Knuth.

I meant SQL SERVER (which is why I put it in this question in this group)
I know of a number of search tips but I have never done any thing big and I
am sure there are structured methods to search the database and there is no
point for me to re-invent these

It may be built in into sql SERVER and possibly there are other standard
methods for one word or multi word search

I am sure there some articles that would give a clue of what can be done
thank you,
Samuel

So you have a column containing free-form text and you want to search the
column for one or more words matching the specified criteria? In that case,
see full-text catalogs in the Books Online.

If you situation is different, it might help if you post a specific example
to clarify your requirements.

If you need to search char, varchar, text or image columns use SQL Full-text
search. If its a small table you can use a like.
