&quot;...a-la Google, for SQL Server? &quot;<br />
<br />
That thing does not exists in SQL(and many other RDBMS database engines) as far as I'm aware. You would have to write code to search against each and any &quot;text&quot; like (char, varchar, nchar, etc) columns for the &quot;word&quot; or &quot;phrase&quot; you are looking for.
