Hi,
I have a search form that allows the user to search a field in a table called 'description'. The only thing is if I enter a keyword for example 'CAN' it comes up with not only all the records with the word CAN in it but also ones with words such as 'scan'. I want it to use * so it can find the keyword hidden amongst all the other text but I want to to search for the exact match and not pick up records where the keyword is part of other words.
Has anyone got any ideas if this is possible and how to do it?
Thankyou,
Katherine
