searching a database

Hi
I have created a simple search that allows the user to enter text in a text box, then on search it searches a column in my database to find what ever the user has typed. This works fine, but I want it to search on all the words the user types and display records that have any of those words in. Obviously excluding "and" "or" etc.

This is the select statement I am using:

SELECT *
FROM clients
WHERE UOCCLONG like '%SearchString%'
ORDER BY U_KEY5 ASC

If anyone could help me out that would be fantastic!
