The below stored procedure returns the result set but if a company has more than one entry that qualifies it lists them all. It is possible to only return the first instance of a company. Example: ABC Dog Company has three seperate database rows that qualify but I only want to return one of them. It can be the first or any of them. Tried to use GROUP BY but getting nowhere fast

SELECT Distinct TOP 200 Name, URL, DisplayURL, Phone, City, State, Zip, L_Enabled, Email, Country, Rank, L_Description, CG_Name
FROM Info INNER JOIN NewCat ON Info.CG_ID = NewCat.CG_ID
WHERE (L_Key LIKE '%' + @Kwrd0 + '%' AND (@Kwrd1 IS NULL OR L_Key LIKE '%' + @Kwrd1 + '%'))
OR
(L_Description LIKE '%' + @Kwrd0 + '%' AND (@Kwrd1 IS NULL OR L_Description LIKE '%' + @Kwrd1 + '%'))
AND (L_Enabled = 1)
ORDER BY L_Ran
