LIKE this OR that and something else not working

Question

I have a select query where I am trying to search strings for multiple patterns  LIKE    this   or   that     and something else   Returns zero results  However   LIKE   this   and something else   returns results and   LIKE   that   and something else   returns result  Is it possible to get all my results into one query   If a string matches both  how will it handle that

Do you have something against splitting it up      FROM  lt blah gt      WHERE        fieldA LIKE   THIS   OR fieldA LIKE   THAT          AND something   else

It would be nice if you could  but you can t use that syntax in SQL   Try this    column1 LIKE   this   OR column1 LIKE   that    AND something   else   Note the use of brackets  You need them around the OR expression  Without brackets  it will be parsed as A OR  B AND C  which won t give you the results you expect

Have you tried    column LIKE   this   and something else  or  column LIKE   that   and something else

Break out the LIKE clauses into 2 separate statements  i e     fieldname1 LIKE   this   or fieldname1 LIKE   that     and something else

I know it s a bit old question but still people try to find efficient solution so instead you should use FULLTEXT index  it s available from MySQL 5 6 4    Query on table with  35mil records by triple like in where block took  2 5s but after adding index on these fields and using BOOLEAN MODE inside match     against     it took only 0 05s

Instead of using LIKE  use REGEXP  For example  SELECT   WHERE value REGEXP  THIS THAT   mysql gt  SELECT  pi  REGEXP  pi apa                       - gt  1 mysql gt  SELECT  axe  REGEXP  pi apa                      - gt  0 mysql gt  SELECT  apa  REGEXP  pi apa                      - gt  1 mysql gt  SELECT  apa  REGEXP    pi apa                    - gt  1 mysql gt  SELECT  pi  REGEXP    pi apa                     - gt  1 mysql gt  SELECT  pix  REGEXP    pi apa                    - gt  0  Refer  http   dev mysql com doc refman 5 1 en regexp html

Try something like   WHERE  column LIKE   this   OR column LIKE   that    AND something   else

[mysql] 'LIKE ('%this%' OR '%that%') and something=else' not working
