The following query

SELECT * from $database WHERE title LIKE '%$title%' OR quotation LIKE '%$quotation%'

does not work as desired, if one of the two query fields in the HTML form stays empty. 
How do I do this query properly, leaving the user the opportunity to narrow the search 
by filling in as many fields as he wishes, e. g. "list all books with THIS word in the 
title and/or THAT word in the quotation".
