Hey all,

I would like to achive something along the lines of:

SELECT field FROM table WHERE field ILIKE '$searchterm' ORDER BY 
substr_count(field, '$searchterm');

Of course the substr_count function does not exist. Is there anyway to 
do this?

I had a thought char_count(replace(field, !$searchterm, '')) might do 
the job but replace doesn't allow for 'replace everything NOT string';

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance,
