I'm having problems constructing an SQL statement to find records from a user entered string searching record. a record consists of a comma separated string. for example:

user entered string: charts
record: bars, graphs, charts

i've tried:

SELECT MI_FILENAME, MI_EXT, MI_KEYWORDS
FROM MEDIA_ITEMS
WHERE (MI_KEYWORDS IN ('bars'))

Could u offer any assistance please
