Another approach to this issue is to use MySQL's full text ability.  Details

> This question concerns how to format a "WHERE" clause so that it only
> finds those records that have a particular word buried within the text.
> For example, if my WHERE clause has "DE_sDescription LIKE "%ford%" it
> will return records that have the word "affordable" in the description
> field. But if I remove the wild cards, then it doesn't find those
> records that may have the word "ford" buried within a text (the text
> runs 500 characters at the max).

> Any pointers would be *greatly* appreciated.
