Multi Word Search
I am trying this code example:
<CFQUERY NAME="searchresults" DATASOURCE="yourdatasource
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE 0=0
AND
(
<cfloop index="i" list="#form.searchkeyword#
<cfoutput>fieldname LIKE '%#i#%' AND </cfoutput>
</cfloop>
'%%')
</CFQUERY>
The program I am having is that the last '%%' is giving me no results. If i take that last and '%%' i get the correct results.
Is there a better way to do something like this?

Great solution. Answered my question perfectly
AND would have to find both STAR and WARS
OR would find either STAR or WARS
Typically you would match either, you could give the user the option or choose the one that fits for your app

Say I want to search for DVD and Star Wars, or say the product number for that is 12345 and then of course the title is Star Wars. What is the best way to search for that?
