Hi there,

I am trying to insert a field in my SELECT statement which allows a user to search for something which could be contained in multiple fields.

For example, if a user was to search for enquiries on High Road in the 'Search' field, the 'Search' field should contain site_name, enquiry_location, feature_location, and Feature_ID fields.

The above fields are all CHAR fields. Is there a way to combine all the fields and make it available for a user to search on in a SELECT statement?

If you have suggestions please share

Are you passing the value in as a parameter?

Not 100% I fully understand what your asking, but can you use an OR in the where clause?
SELECT
*
FROM
Table
WHERE
(site_name = @Param OR enquiry_location = @Param OR feature_location = @Param OR Feature_ID fields = @Param)
