Running Where Clause with Like Not Working

https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/datab...y-grouping

Thanks for the response. I had a look at this. Wont the where clause return the exact match. Because was using like to search even if user inputed something similar. For example if user types 2 letters, all contractors with similar characters inputted would appear on the search box list. It does not have to be an exact match.
