Yes, the example is very simplified, what i want to do is to find results that match all words of the search.If i have the text "i have lunched with John Andrews and it was decided to postpone ... bla bla", so when searching in sentences/text, i want to return this sentence, because both words of the search criteria were found here.
OK that is what I thought. You would probably have a lot better luck using full text search instead of trying to parse this do some sort of finagling with it.

Without doing a full text searching you would need to do a wildcard search on both sides of the stored value. This will be horrible for performance.
