Searching Database

Is there a way to peform a query search on a database where you type
in a word to be searched across multiple fields?

a bit like a search engine if you like.

for example if searching a stock database typing in the word shoes
would bring up all products with the string shoes in the product name,
but also in description and so on.

Well you could create a query with something like Like *[Enter keyword]* in
the criteria of all the fields you want to search (using the "or" lines),
otherwise I think you'd have to do it in code.
