Loosen Search Query

[hem]

I'm pretty sure adjusting the query to something such as: LIKE %$search_keywords% would do the trick, but I'm not sure where to make the change. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or perhaps offer a better solution?

It won't- what you need to do is a multi query against various lengths of your search string or do a remove of all whitespace in the search term and the field that is being searched.

I think what is needed is a 'loose search' contrib- returning each search with a percentage confidence level (and sorted by)
