I have a db that contains 6 similar columns: line_1, line_2 , line_3 
, line_4 , line_5 , line_6
I want to have a search that searches across columns.  While I can 
search them individually, it would be better if they were combined 
before the LIKE was done so that if I had:
line_1="I need to"
line_2="go to the bathroom"
and I searched  "need to go", it would return a hit.

I'm not sure how to approach this but while I have a beginning, I 
know that it is incorrect because it's the first type of search, 
searching each line individually.

<cfquery name="getSearchItem" datasource="dpch">
        SELECT recipients_lname,recipients_fname,recipients_mi,leaf_number
        FROM giving_leaves
        WHERE line_1 LIKE '#s#' OR line_2 LIKE '#s#'
</cfquery>

thanks for the help.
