Wolfgang,
Use LIKE '%life%' as in
SELECT somecolumn FROM mytable WHERE LOWER(mycolumn) LIKE '%life%'
Don't forget to compare same case strings.

Hello all helpers,
well ... thanks to those who have already replied a
You can use the SQL keyword "LIKE" for this. Have a look at the MySQL docs
for full info, but the idea is you'd do something like:
$query = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE question LIKE '%". $search_phrase. "%'";

% works as a wildcard in mySQL.
Example:
"SELECT * FROM table WHERE Question LIKE '%life%'" would return all rows
with field Question containing string "life".

You should use the "like" clause whch allows the use of wild cards %
and ?.
Have a look at the MySQL manual, it should be explained there.
