Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has any tricks for speeding up huge queries that require a LIKE comparison, and also a wild card at the front and back of the search term. For example:
SELECT my_id FROM my_table WHERE my_value LIKE '%ABCDEFG%' LIMIT 50; I know that in a query such as this, mysql does not utilize indexing, so I was just curious how some others have attempted to speed up this kind of thing up....
