How do you want it to work? The interface allows you to define whether to use a space as an AND or an OR or require the full string. You can also do an "includes" search. I think you want "includes" and you want the space to be an "AND" So it can do:
WHERE column LIKE '%asked%' AND column LIKE '%about%' AND column LIKE '%donkeys%'
but you could have it do:
WHERE column LIKE '%asked%' OR column LIKE '%about%' OR column LIKE '%donkeys%'
or you could have it do:
WHERE column LIKE '%asked about donkeys%'
It all depends on how you want the search to work. If you tell me which is the one you want and attach the page you are working on, then I can show you how to adjust the code.
