Search results not showing if not exact.

I have a search form on a funeral home site and I want to search all the possible results. The problem is the results only show if the name is exact.
Example:
If the person I'm looking for is Judy Harrison Garner she would show up if I searched Judy, Judy Harrison, Harrison Garner or Judy Harrison Garner, but I want the user to be able to search for Judy Garner and she would show up. Here is how I have the results coded.

$WADbSearch1->addComparisonFromEdit("visitName","visitName","AND","Includes",0);

You have to use the "keyword" search type for this with a space character as the "Implied AND"

That didn't work I get everything now.

//comparison list additions
$WADbSearch1->keywordComparison($KeyArr1,"".((isset($_POST["visitName"]))?$_POST["visitName"]:"") .""," ","=","%20AND%20","%20OR%20","%22","%22",0);

Are you using POST or URL Parameters to pass the search value? It looks like you have it set to "=" instead of "Includes" and you have your implied AND set to " AND " instead of " ".

Maybe this would work:
$WADbSearch1->keywordComparison($KeyArr1,"".((isset($_GET["visitName"]))?$_GET["visitName"]:"") .""," ","Includes","%20",",%20","%22","%22",0);
