Search query returning ALL records

Question

DW CS3 - MS Access - ASP/VBScript
I have a search form for records to display on the same page with keywords highlighted.  The search is returning ALL records and highlighting keywords throughout rather than returning specific records with the searched word.  What am I missing?  I'm sure it's something terribly simple.....
          <input name="search" type="text" id="search" value="<%= Request.QueryString("search") %>" />
          SELECT item, item, item, item
          FROM tbl_name
          WHERE item OR item OR item LIKE %MMColParam%
          ORDER BY sql_orderby, Date DESC
          Name: MMColParam
          Type: Text
          Value: Request.Querystring("search")
          Default Value: %

Answer 1

I was using the word "item" as an example for multiple columns without actually naming them - they are not the same.  I should've used this example:
SELECT shoes, socks, hats, gloves
FROM tbl_apparel
WHERE shoes OR socks OR hats LIKE %MMColParam%
ORDER BY sql_orderby, Date DESC
In the past, I had four duplicate query parameters for four columns which worked fine.  But since I only have one search term, I thought I could eliminate three of the duplicate parameters and use just one with the OR statement.
In the past, you questioned me on this.  You stated, "You only have one search term and so all of the parameters have the same value, but DW still wants to creates 4 parameters. If you were coding this by hand you wouldn't do it that way, but DW's one-size-fits-all code generates four seperate parms. It's nothing to worry about."
