OK I'm going to assume SQL Server is your DB.
I haven't worked with SQL Server for almost a year now, so you have to
excuse me if my answer doesn't work.
You might have to replace UPPER with whatever the SQL command is.  I gave
you the Oracle Functions.  I think its like UCASE or something like that.

TRY 

<cfquery name="big_query" datasource="localads">
        SELECT mybounty.watch1, mybounty.watch2, mybounty.watch3,
mybounty.email, advert_details.body, advert_details.ID
        FROM mybounty, advert_details
        WHERE advert_details.body like mybounty.watch1 OR
UPPER(mybounty.watch2) like '%(UPPERadvert_details.body)%' OR
UPPER(mybounty.watch3) like '%UPPER(advert_details.body)%'
</cfquery>

That might not work too.  But your DB schema needs a lot of normalization as
it stands now.

I had tried that, but resorted to removing them seeing as they hadn't
helped.  I'm really confused with this - the code I originally posted is
just one application, but I need to do another similar one (and maybe 2 more
on top of those) run as weekly tasks (filters).

Thanks anyway
