OK, let me give an example:
select * from tab1 where col1 like '%word%' or col2 like '%word%' and col3
like '%word%'
and I want to order by the amopunt of matches that a matching register has.
Something like, if it matches all the ORs, then it should go first, and if it
matches only one of the ORs it should go last.
Or maybe even have several words trying to match one of the columns.
Saludos... :-)
