Search?

Hi
I builded a little propert database. I added a search function to the site
but have the following problem:
I used "SELECT *
FROM table1 WHERE area ='province' and type like'%type_1%' and town
like'%town_1%' and descr like '%descr_1%' and suburb like '%sub_1%'"
But it do not do the like thing. If I search for 3 bed and the actual data
is 3 bedroom it gets the data, but if I search for 3 bedrooms (extra s) it
do not get it or if I make spelling mistake I do not get a result either. So
it seems that it rather search for the exact term instead of the like term.
How can I get it to really search for only a phrase, part of a word or a
spelling error?
Regards
Pieter
