I meant if it's text or if it's typed values. But looking at your original post, it kind of gives it away with the "LIKE" query. If you're running PHP5, I would say to give Lucene a chance. It's very easy to get going (The documentation is fairly comprehensive), and I'm really amazed at the speed of it. Don't let the ZF logo scare you off -- You can use it without any other components tagging along. A bit like PEAR.
