Not too sure what you mean there zMaestro, but I interpret that as its not finding the full word as it's wrapped in tags Confused, correct me if Im wrong there lol.
 
Just create the SQL to do a LIKE (like this)
 


"SELECT * FROM aTable WHERE field LIKE '%" & request("search_text") & "%'"

if the field contents is: "My name is <b>zMaestro</b>"
the result which will appear is: My name is zMaestro
 
is i searched with the string "is zMaestro" there will be no result found.
if i worte in the string "is <b>zMaestro</b>" there will be results.
 
i got an idea from the code here, and i think that is the way, i take the message to a temp variable, and replace all the tag, and store the output, then search it, am i right?

Post the code on here you are using matey, your being a little vague.
 
If your doing a standard search though, using the code I gave above should do the trick you could write "Mae" and it would find all records that have that in record entry of the field you are trying to search.
 
But let's take a look at the code you're trying ot use and I will hopefully be able to  help you out.

<table>
<%
set RSpecial= server.createobject ("ADODB.recordset")



QLSpecial = "SELECT * FROM aTable WHERE filedname LIKE '%"&Request("text")&"%' ORDER BY ID;"



RSpecial.open QLSpecial, Conn, 1, 3



While Not RSpecial.EOF



Response.Write "<tr><td>"&RSpecial("filedname")&"</td></tr>"



RSpecial.MoveNext : Wend



%></table>
