SQL Server has Full Text Search capabilities thus needs to be installed and configured. I don't think lots of hosts will offer that for you. THough if you want the LIKE operator to return instrings just go like ..... where whatever LIKE '%keyword%' ....  this way it does find it if the keyword is in the middle.

As Michael said LIKE '%keyword%' will solve your problem.

(As an aside, you can also use the SOUNDEX function to do a 'Sounds Like' comparison)

Cheers,
Andrew
