Let's say I'm searching book titles in a database.
I want to find "The Red Tent".
However, in the database, it's listed as "Red Tent, The".
So:
search books
where Title like '%#formtitle#%'
So, the following will find it:
"Red Tent"
"Red"
"Tent"
The exact title "The Red Tent" won't.
1. What's the best way to exclude common words from what's entered in
the form field.
2. How would I do something a little more comparitive?
Assume the book title is actually "The Big Fat Tent that is Red"
and if I enter "Red Tent" into the search field, I'd like
it to come up.
The only thing I can think of here would be to take each word entered
into the form field - "The Red Tent" - put them in a list - "The, Red,
Tent" - and then do a search for the terms in the list. Any other ideas?
A verity search will NOT work in this case, as there's a ton of other
tables with joins and all sorts of other rotten stuff involved...
