I have been looking through the mailing list archives but I can seem to find
a straight forward answer anywhere.

I have a MySQL table with a variety of text columns I would like to search.
Pretty basic... A web search form returning the users input $keywords.

Some type of relevance system would be great but it is not necessary.

I have been messing around with LIKE, IN and to an extent REGEXP but I can't
seem to get it to work.

For example if the user inputs "red fire engines" I would like to query
across "colour", "type" and "description" for each of the words.

Can this easily be done?

Do I need to create a "keywords" column each time I update any of the
keyword columns I would like to search?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I am also on digest mode so please
CC me if you reply to the list or via versa.

Thanks,

Dan
