I do not have access to full text search, but I need to do a text search on a title field and a description field. What is the best way to do this?

Can I make this work...It does not now

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SearchMovie]
@Title nvarchar(200)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;

SELECT *
FROM movies
WHERE PATINDEX(@Title, COALESCE (title, '') + '|' + COALESCE (description, '')) > 0

I got it

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SearchMovie]
@Title nvarchar(200)
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;

SELECT *
FROM helixpo_CLASSICDVDS.movies
WHERE PATINDEX('%' + @Title + '%', COALESCE (title, '') + '|' + COALESCE (description, '')) > 0
END
