I need a search function that can search in any varchar fields from the database(SQL) and return that into the front end program. The search should be like google search that returns anything similar to the search keyword. Can anybody help me??

Do you have anything you have tried? a starting point?

I have not done anything on that

So you want a method that can search for any varchar field that exists in a database, then search the contents of those fields for things similar to the search criteria? Then return what? the table name and column name? or the value stored in the cell?

That should return table names,fields and related data from the database..

That is really ambitious, Google search algorithm shouldn't be that easy to implement.
I would start from this Wikipedia page: Approximate string matching[^].

I do not need that much complexity in my search..I just need the function to return data from the database tables (multiple) similar to the search keyword.
