Here's a little chunk of what I have so far:

$keywords = explode(' ',$searchterm) ;

$sql5b .= "description LIKE '%{$keywords[$i]}%'";
}

I have the query working, the problem is if one of the keywords is "class", the query will return results for: class, classic, midclass, classify, etc....

What I want to know is how to do the query where it will only return results for the word class and not other words containing it.

Hummm... Maybe adding white spaces around the keyword?

... WHERE description LIKE '% class %'
