their proprietary search algorithms....they don't tell us mortals their
secrets..
but ibphoenix.com may have some interesting things.
otherwise you can start by doing something like
take a few 'random' substrings of the supplied search string, then issue a
select on the field
WHERE FIELD CONTAINING randomstring1 OR FIELD CONTAINING randomstring2 OR
FIELD CONTATING randomstring3
you get the drift I'm sure.
the more OR clauses the more matches.
