Try this:
@product = Product.find(:first, :conditions => ["title like ?",
"%#{name}%"])
Hope this helps...

Rolling Rock. I tried the following but it doesn't work:
@find = Product.find(:first, :conditions => ["title.include?
'#{name}'"])
I get this error:
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in SearchController#results
Mysql::Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual
that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to
use near 'include'#{name}') LIMIT 1' at line 1: SELECT * FROM
`products` WHERE (title include'#{name}') LIMIT 1
@find = Product.find(:first, :conditions => ["title like '?'",
"%#{name}%"])
This code is untested, but I would expect to work.

Thanks for the help Jeffrey but I still get the same error that I posted
above. I altered your code to this:
@find = Product.find(:all, :conditions => ["title LIKE '#{name}'"])
and got it to work when I enter the full name again but when I add in
the % signs it tells me:
@find = Product.find(:all, :conditions => ["title LIKE '%#{name}%'"])
malformed format string - %R
Any suggestions on why the % doesn't work?
