MySQL SELECT LIKE or REGEXP to match multiple words in one record

mysql, regex, select, sql-like

Solution

Well if you know the order of your words.. you can use:

SELECT `name` FROM `table` WHERE `name` REGEXP 'Stylus.+2100'

Also you can use:

SELECT `name` FROM `table` WHERE `name` LIKE '%Stylus%' AND `name` LIKE '%2100%'

Problem

The field `table`.`name` contains 'Stylus Photo 2100' and with the following query ``` SELECT `name` FROM `table` WHERE `name` LIKE '%Stylus 2100%' ``` I get no results. Of course i would if i searched ``` SELECT `name` FROM `table` WHERE `name` LIKE '%Photo 2100%' ``` How can I select the record by searching 'Stylus 2100' ? Thanks
