Searching in codeigniter

If you want to search a larger text field in your database for your $tag variable, you'll need to do something like this:

Code:

$this->db->like(‘title’, "%" . $tag . "%");

This basically says to look for $tag surrounded by any other characters. You can adjust accordingly if you want to include spaces around the word (ie. just searching for that word, not part of another word), etc.
