In "MySQL" it says that adding the following to a where clause: like "%$somestring%"; should select matches that contain $somestring in them anywhere. However when I use it I find that if e.g. I have an entry "dog" in the database, if I search for "dogs", it doesn't come up. Also if I search for "dog house" it doesn't come up. How come? Thanks, SW
