I've got a table with a column that holds a comma seperated list of keywords. 
I'm just not seeing the solution right now.

I've got a keyword search where the user can put in a comma seperated list of 
keywords. I need the query to search the DB to see if any of the keywords match 
the keywords in the keywords column.

I'm sure it's right in front of me

Without pulling those lists out into a more normalize structure, the first 
thing that pops into my head is a series of like matches.

WHERE
 Keywords LIKE '%KeywordMatch1%' AND|OR /*Depending in if they need to match 
one or all*/ 
 Keywords LIKE '%KeywordMatch2%' AND|OR
 Keywords LIKE '%KeywordMatch3% /*continue until all keywordmatchs are 
accounted for.

Not very pretty, and I doubt it would be a quick performer.
