Search result query

Report · Aug 30, 2006

Say I have a load of entries in my database, and some have the phrase 'chicken noodles', some have only the word 'chicken and others have only the word 'noodles'. When I do a search on the words 'chicken noodles', I only get the results with the words 'chicken noodles' in.

What I would like to know is how do I also list those records that have only the words 'chicken' or 'noodles' rather than the exact phrase; I have no idea how to go about this. Exact phrases I can get to work fine but if I typed noodles with chicken it wouldn't show as a result!

What do I have to do for it show similar rather than exact results?

Any tutorials or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mat
