It is better to use FullText. Convert the description field to FullText. You will gain a powerfull control in this case. For more information on how to use FullText read a little-bit in the MySql manual (MATCH AGAINST) commands.

This is a SQL question, rather than a PHP question, so I would suggest doing a google search on SQL tutorials, but I think what you are trying to do would work like this:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE descript LIKE '%new%' OR descript LIKE '%car%'
