hello,

right now on my search page the sql query i am using is similar to:

select * from table where name like '%search%'

and it returns the exact phrases perfectly

however if search = "car red" there are no results

i want it to be able to return "red card" results also

basically i want it to be:

select * from table where name like '%car%' or name like '%red%'

how do i break up the value of search for each term or phrase

any ideas? thanks!

When you search for "car red", do you want to return rows that contain words like "scary", "Fred", "redo" etc.?

Copy the code in Fig. 21 in this article to install the function: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Tally+Table/72993/

Then use it like this:
DECLARE @search VARCHAR(255) = 'car apple';

SELECT
	t.*
FROM
	YourTable t
	INNER JOIN dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(@search,' ') d
		ON ' ' + t.name + ' ' LIKE '% ' + d.Item + ' %'
