Solution 1

That does search anywhere in the name: '%X%' will find all rows with an 'X' anywhere in the value.
I just double checked with one of my tables:

SQL

DECLARE @SearchTerm NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @SearchTerm = 'X'
SELECT * FROM MyTable
WHERE [Name] LIKE '%' + @SearchTerm + '%' OR @SearchTerm = ''

And it retruned exactly the results I expected.

I'd look at the rest of your query, if I was you.

create PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetCustomers_Pager]
@SearchTerm VARCHAR(100) = ''
,@PageIndex INT = 1
,@PageSize INT = 10
,@RecordCount INT OUTPUT
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER
(
ORDER BY [ID] ASC
)AS RowNumber
,[ID]
,[Name]
,[InvestmentType]
,[Amount]
,[MonthlyPay]
,[NumberOfMonths]
,[StartDate]
,[EndDate]
,[Phone]
,[Address]
INTO #Results
FROM [PaymentTracker1]
WHERE [Name] LIKE '%' + @SearchTerm + '%' OR @SearchTerm = ''
SELECT @RecordCount = COUNT(*)
FROM #Results

SELECT * FROM #Results
WHERE RowNumber BETWEEN(@PageIndex -1) * @PageSize + 1 AND(((@PageIndex -1) * @PageSize + 1) + @PageSize) - 1

DROP TABLE #Results
END

So start by removing the WHERE clause from the final SELECT and see what you get.
