Here's a table "table1" with a column "title" varchar(100),and Index on title coulmn
the table hav about 240,000 records.
When I use followed query,it takes almost 6 seconds(by query analyzer)!
select * from Table1 where title like '%something%'

The analyzer told me it uses table scan not index seek,but when I use
select * from Table1 where title like 'something%'

Index seek was used.
So how should I rewrite this sql?I must have a match search on column title.


I do not know what is what
