Paul,
SUBSTRING(URLdescription,PATINDEX('#Searchstring#',URLdescription),256)

A little massaging of the search string to make it a wildcard matching
pattern and all is well. Thank you.

the client would like me to pull a summary of the data that matched the text
search out of the database. Just the summary of the section of the data

one way might be to use PATINDEX SUBSTRING (see sql server books-on-line for
details).
