To find items containing any of your letters: 
select * from items where name like '%partial name%'; 
 
To find items starting with any of your letters: 
select * from items where name like 'partial name%'; 
 
To find items ending any of your letters: 
select * from items where name like '%partial name'; 
 
etc... "like" is the option you're looking for. the percents '%' are like wildcards. 
 
 
Example: 
select * from items where name like '%ration%'; 
 
...would return anything in the Item Database with the word "ration" anywhere in the name. 
 
 
If you do not want to see the whole Item record, change "select *" to "select id, name"... etc. A valid column name from the Items table.
