I think there's cause for excitement, because unless I'm interpreting you
incorrectly, it IS easy to do what you want to do:

Use the UNION functionality. If your table T is this
 id   name   description-------------------------  1   abc       def  2   bcd       abc  3   def       ghi  4   jkl
 bcd  5   hij       hij
 

And you do this:
 SELECT id FROM T WHERE name = 'abc'     UNION SELECT id FROM T WHERE desc = 'abc';

You'll get:
  id ----   1   2

That ought to do it for you!

Hope this helps,
