Greetings, I have a table that has a column where search keywords are entered. column searchwords word1 word2 word3 ..etc Now when this column is queried for a search, I'm wonder how is the best way to evaluate matching the keywords. In the SELECT query, would I get better results if I use: WHERE searchwords IN (keyword_string) or WHERE serachwords LIKE "%keyword_string%" The "keyword_string" are the keywords entered into a search form, the same as the keywords where entered into the searchwords column: keyword1 keyword2..etc TIA, Mike(mickalo)Blezien ======================================== Thunder Rain Internet Publishing Providing Internet Solutions that work! http://www.thunder-rain.com Tel: 1(225) 686-2002 ========================================= --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
