You can use
Select * from books where (title Like "*the word you want to search*")

Subject:	[WEB4LIB] SQL database problem

We are setting up a database of reading lists, but are having problems with
searching.

The database is in Access, searched by SQL from an .asp page. There is a
title field, but it seems possible to search only the complete title or the
first word (needs a wildcard).

How can we search for any word in the title field?

Thanks in advance.
