Re: PHP/MySQL Search Engine Query Question
This is more of a php question. explode $string on " " (space) which will give you an array. Loop through the array first with $sql.="WHERE whatevercolumn LIKE '%$val%'" then for every other entry change WHERE to AND.

my suggestion :
change your script into this one :
select * from whatevertable where $string;
$string="whatevercolumns like \"%1972%\" and whatevercolumns like \"%Ford%\" and
whatevercolumns like \"%1972%\" "
or you can try this :
$query="1972 Ford Mustang"
$query=ereg_replace(" ","%\" and whatevercolumns like \"%",$query);
$string="whatevercolumns like \"%$query%\"";
select * from whatevertable where $string;

PHP/MySQL Search Engine Query Question
I am currently working on a website that is implemented using PHP and MySQL. The site currently has a simple search engine that allows a shopper to type in a search string that is stored in $search. For example, if a shopper types in 1972 Ford Mustang $string ="1972 Ford Mustang" Using the following SQL statement: SELECT * FROM whatevertable WHERE whatevercolumn LIKE '%$search% Records are returned that have this exact string and in this exact order (I'm aware a wild card character is included on the front and back of the string). My desire is to be able to logically AND each token of the search together independent or the order of the tokens. I want to return all records that have Mustang AND 1972 AND Ford. Since a shopper inputs the search string in advance I don't know how many tokens will be used. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Re: Search Engine Query
I don't know if I understand your question, but you may want to SELECT * FROM table WHERE fieldname LIKE '%searchterm%' Also, search at mysql.com for FULLTEXT in http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/R/CREATE_TABLE.html and learn what you can do with this and when this will be good.
