    <p>There's no way to just search everything in a database using MySql, you'll still need to choose which columns to search in which tables. You can search different data with different queries then join the results in PHP or do some kind of JOIN. If you're not careful though you'll end up with something entirely inefficient.</p> <p>One more note - this should already match partial words as you have it - the %'s around your search term in the LIKE clause means 'any characters in this position' </p> <p>To search more fields in your restaurant, you could start with the following (if you have a slogan for instance):</p> <pre><code>$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `restaurants` WHERE `restaurant` LIKE '%{$_GET['searchbox']}%' OR `slogan` LIKE '%{$_GET['searchbox']}%'"); </code></pre> <p><strong>You should not be injecting the user input directly into the SQL though, it leaves you open to attack!</strong></p> <p>To search more fields in other tables using a JOIN, you could start with the following (if you have a food table for instance):</p> <pre><code>$result = mysql_query("SELECT `restaurants`.* FROM `restaurants` LEFT JOIN `food` ON `food`.`restaurant_id` = `restaurant`.`id` WHERE `restaurant` LIKE '%{$_GET['searchbox']}%' OR `food` LIKE '%{$_GET['searchbox']}%'"); </code></pre> <p>You can look at these two pages if you need help with what I've just given you:</p> <p><a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/select.html" rel="nofollow">http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/select.html</a></p> <p><a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/join.html" rel="nofollow">http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/join.html</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
