Subject: SQL SELECT with Similar Terms

Anyone know how to do this? I have data that looks like this:

Rattan
Traditional
:Rattan:
Contemporary

I'd like to produce a list like

Rattan 2
Traditional 1
Contemporary 1

The 'extra' search result with the colons around it should be the same
as the search result without the colons.

Thanks...
