You mean Full-text searches? Read about them here:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Fulltext_Search.html

Only works with certain table types. Not InnoDB tables (transactional) for instance.

-------- Original Message --------

I was wondering if anyone knows how to do whole word searches in mysql.  I
have a search textbox that users can enter in multiple words to search for
in the database, but things like the mysql LIKE match any part of a word.
Is there a way to search for whole word matches only?  Please let me know if
you can help.

Thanks,

Matt
