Imagine a database with first and last names in separate columns. I need to be 
able to search by "<first name> <last name>" or "<last name> <first name>". Is 
there a better way than this?

SELECT lastname, firstname
FROM wherever
WHERE (CONCAT(lastname, ', ', firstname) LIKE "%Ray Hunter%" OR 
CONCAT(firstname, ' ', lastname) LIKE "%Ray Hunter%" )
