Searching table

Hello, I have a table with a column named Title (varchar(50)) and a column named Tags (varchar(250)). What is the best way to do a search on these two fields? Similar to YouTube.

I am new at SQL Server 2005 express.

Thanks for your help, if there is an article you know about that will help lots too.

Use CONTAINS and FREETEXT.

CONTAINS search the exact or prefix match whereas FREETEXT search partly matching.

Hope it helps.

Thanks Jason.

Is this better than Full-Text Search?
