I have managed to come up with an answer to my own question so thought I thought I would post here in case anyone else has similar requirements in the future. Basically it relies upon the SQL-CLR regular expression functionality and runs with minimal impact to performance. Firstly enable SQL-CLR on your server if not already available (you need to be sysadmin): <pre><code>--Enables CLR Integration exec sp_configure 'clr enabled', 1 GO RECONFIGURE GO </code></pre> Then you will need to create the assembly in SQL (Don't forget to change your path from <code>D:\SqlRegEx.dll</code> and use <code>SAFE</code> permission set as this is the most restrictive and safest set of permissions but won't go into detail here.) : <pre><code>CREATE ASSEMBLY [SqlRegEx] FROM 'D:\SqlRegEx.dll' WITH PERMISSION_SET = SAFE </code></pre> Now create the actual function you will call: <pre><code>CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[RegexMatch] (@Input NVARCHAR(MAX), @Pattern NVARCHAR(MAX), @IgnoreCase BIT) RETURNS BIT AS EXTERNAL NAME SqlRegEx.[SqlClrTools.SqlRegEx].RegExMatch </code></pre> Finally and to complete and answer my own question we can then run the following TSQL: <pre><code>SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE dbo.RegexMatch(@search, REPLACE(your_field, ' ', '.*?'), 1) = 1 SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE dbo.RegexMatch(@search, REPLACE(REVERSE(your_field), ' ', '.*?'), 1) = 1 </code></pre> I hope this will help someone in what should be a simple search option in the future.

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.
