Hi Gerald
You have to be careful
The % in like('%.......%') are wildcards - BUT it does mean that the HAS to be SOMETHING before INVOICE
So in your example
'Invoice Inquiry ', - this would NOT be a hit unless you used like(Invoice%)

The % wildcard will match zero or more characters, so it will work
fine even if what you are searching for is right at the beginning.
