If you just want to do a single search term, you could easily set up an
SQL method that read something like:
select * from table where title like '%<dtml-sqlvar search>%'
(I hope that syntax works with MS SQL server). It is probably possible to
get zope to escape special characters in the string for you as well.

This would negate the benefits of having an SQL database (eg. indexing,
etc). Just write an sql method that does the search.
