Hi Mark, Sounds like a job for Full-Text Search/Catalogs. Been a long time since I used it myself but IIRC it works like a charm... cheers Michael M -----Original Message----- From: dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Mark A Matte Sent: Tuesday, 10 June 2008 5:35 AM To: Discussion concerning MS SQL Server Subject: [dba-SQLServer] List of Search Words Hello All, I have about 10 million records in which I need to search multiple fields. I have a list of around 200 words. Some of these fields are large text fields. On a smaller scale, in Access, I have used a cartesian join to do this... I can write SQL for about 20 words at a time...and just modify for the different fields(I have a script to run them all). Any suggestions on my best approach to these 'wild card' searches? Thanks, Mark A.
