I wish to SELECT * FROM testTable WHERE any field contains any word in the
string "my name is bill"
All I can come up with is this.
SELECT * FROM testTable WHERE testfeild LIKE '%my%' OR testfield2 LIKE '%my%' OR testfeild LIKE '%name%' OR testfield2
LIKE'%name%' OR testfeild LIKE '%is%' OR testfield2 LIKE '%is%' OR testfeild LIKE '%bill%' OR testfield2 LIKE '%bill%' 

Is there a better/more efficient way?

Kind regards
Kevin
