This will not work as an or search like that since I don't want where
title has just the 1st word but where title has all of the three
words in any order.
We are looking for a title that has Who and Men and Say they have to
have all 3 words to qualify.

in sql you'd want something more like this:
select columns
from table
where column like '%<first word here>%" or column like '%<second
word here>%'
etc.
column like '%<word1>%' or column like '%<word2>%'
is equivalent in english to "column contains <word1> or <word2>"
which is what you want but
column in ('word1','word2')
is equivalent to "column is word1 or word2"
I'm not sure how "the big guys" like google and yahoo do their
queries but this is as close as i've been able to get in my
experiences.

Just to try and be clear. This is not a search on a keyword database.
I need to bring back any title that has all the words they typed in
the title
Jesus: Who Do Men Say That I Am?
I can search by typing in Who Men Say and get the title
When you use the FileMaker aPI for PHP this works fine
I imagine we can do this with some sort of SQL search but I am not
clear how to form the query I guess.
I though by doing an in search it would work but it does not see to
where title in {'Who','Men'.'Say') does not return the expected
results

The only problem is I am still not getting waht I want so maybe
even this search is not right.
In Searching Filemaker with PHP if I search a title called
Jesus: Who Do Men Say That I Am?
I can search by typing in Who Men Say and get the title
That is what I want from SQL I want to get the title if any of the
words are in the title.
But that is not working any thoughts?

Hi Dan,
Look at the method "array2string_With_Quote" in the attached TCF.
That will do it for you.

I sort of figured that much out but that just gives me a 1x1
array so what am I looping through?
I would have to figure out some way to count the words and then
loop through somehow getting each word and wrapping it in <@SQ>
tags and then a comma?
I guess I could 1st add a <@SQ to the left and right of the
string and then replace the spaces with a <@SQ> and comma but
that is still not going to be right.
There must be an easier way to do this.
I just want
Who I am has to become
'who','I','am'
It might even be if I can do that I can use a witango search action

Use @tokenize and loop through the array to create your string.
<@assign request$Search_Array <@tokenize <@ARG
Search_String> ", ">
I'll leave the looping part to you.

So I figure I have to do an is in search and I have to use a
direct DBMS
because Studio will not quote the words and SQL throws an error.
No problem I have the DBMS written.
But what is the best way to get the words into a comma separated
string.
Who I am has to become 'who','I','am'
