I'm not sure soundex is what you want to use here. Soundex is for searching for words that sound alike but may be spelled differently, ie searching for a person named "Smyth" and you search for "Smith".
You are doing more of a keyword type search so the like operator in your query may be more suitable. However, I think your best solution may be to utilize SQL Server's full-text search engine to create an index on the relevant field in the database.

Lets say I am doing a product search by title, if the title in the DB is "Blade Runner (DVD)" and someone searches for "Blade Runner" then WHERE SOUNDEX(title) = SOUNDEX(#form.title#) will work just fine but if someone searched for "the blade runner" then the query would fail since SOUNDEX() only works on the first word. -- Jay ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:302575 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
