    newbie - how to query for specific word contained in specific columns


    how do you create a query to search for a specific word or number in multiple columns? Say I have 28 columns of data each with a word or number. I need the query to look through all the columns and return every instance (row) containing that word.

    What have you done so far?

    You could search for "Keyword search" "finding a word in multiple columns" or similar.
