Re: Searching a full name



forgive me but I have probably become brain dead in the last week and can not think straight, however, I do already store first and last names in db (no probs there), what I am probably not comprehending is how to add the whitespace when doing a search in a single box.
This is the qualifiers with their respective container variables:
((companyName like $companyName) or (firstName like $tradingName) or (lastName like $tradingName) or (metaKeywords like $metaKeywords) or (tbAddress.country like $country) or (tbAddress.countryAbbr like $countryAbbr) or (tbAddress.cityTown like $cityTown) or ((firstName like $tradingName) and (lastName like $tradingName)))


it's this what is my problem:
((firstName like $tradingName) and (lastName like $tradingName)) but could make it function correctly so started to add the whitespace column but I know for sure that I'm doing something seriously back to front, I just cant think so... I need someone's fresh head 'cause mine's is still awash with sleep deprivationform this week.... silly me.

Why are you doing it that way? Just store first and last name in database and when displaying
the name add the white space.

Hi Guys,
what's the best way to do a search for first and last names including whitespace? eg.
"jonathan fleming" or "*atha emin* or "*jona* *eming*" etc, etc.


I'm using qualifiers in an EOModel fetchSpec and have tested this in DBEdit which works fine if I include a whiteSpace column in the db but that seems like i'm overdoing it:
(firstName LIKE "*jona*" AND lastName LIKE "*eming*") works but no space
(firstName LIKE "*jona*" AND whiteSpace=' ' AND lastName LIKE "*eming*") works too but a column for this can't be right


So what's the best way to get what I'm after here?

TIA
