Can anyone give me a simple code of running program that provide a multiwords search function?

for example:
user input 3 words in one text field: "people" , "animal", and "earth".
I want to output all the search contains this 3 words but not according to the exact match rules.

for example it will output the full sentence like: "people living in earth, so do animal"
I am talking here according to search in database information.

All the help much appreciated

Have you looked at regular expressions? That is how I would approach your problem. You can make as simple or complex search as you want.

Your first link is useless. What do MSSQL Management Studio and PHP have in common?
