Yup mine won't handle those.
Have you tried Jeff's code with this case?
I think using LIKE like you are trying to do is going to be a pain because you'd need 12 of them OR'd together.
My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?
My advice:
INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
