SQL users searching query

Question

I would like to create query to search given information in table users . Table consists: of id , username , firstname , lastname , phone and email .

Sample search text: mat h 50 @ld

The only record that should be returned: 1 | admin | mat | hladeo | 123450789 | admin@localhost 1 | admin | mat | hladeo | 123450789 | admin@localhost

My query:

SELECT * FROM  `users` WHERE (
(`firstname` LIKE  '%mat%') || (`firstname` LIKE  '%h%') ||
(`firstname` LIKE  '%50%') || (`firstname` LIKE  '%@l%') ||
(`firstname` LIKE  '%d%')
) && (
(`lastname` LIKE  '%mat%') || (`lastname` LIKE  '%h%') ||
(`lastname` LIKE  '%50%') || (`lastname` LIKE  '%@l%') ||
(`lastname` LIKE  '%d%')
) && (
(`phone` LIKE  '%mat%') || (`phone` LIKE  '%h%' ) ||
(`phone` LIKE  '%50%') || (`phone` LIKE  '%@l%') ||
(`phone` LIKE  '%d%')
) && (
(`email` LIKE  '%mat%') || (`email` LIKE  '%h%') ||
(`email` LIKE  '%50%' ) || (`email` LIKE  '%@l%') ||
(`email` LIKE  '%d%')
) && (
(`username` LIKE  '%mat%') || (`username` LIKE  '%h%') ||
(`username` LIKE  '%50%') || (`username` LIKE  '%@l%') ||
(`username` LIKE  '%d%')
) 

But this query is returning people who have got username containing d and their phone number contains 50 .

EDIT:
this query returns 3 rows:

1 | admin | mat | hladeo | 123450789 | admin@localhost
8 | dillese | Adriana | Zolch | 44450232 | dilesse@msn.com
12 | dcolhut | Denise | Colhut | 502222222 | dcolhut@msn.com

and should return only first row (because matches all the requirements).

==========

And the main question - how to optimize this query? Is it possible to make it simplier?

Answer 1

I think this should do it:

SELECT * FROM  `users` WHERE (
       (firstname LIKE '%mat%' OR lastname LIKE '%mat%' OR
        phone LIKE '%mat%' OR email LIKE '%mat%' OR username LIKE '%mat%')
       AND
       (firstname LIKE '%h%' OR lastname LIKE '%h%' OR
        phone LIKE '%h%' OR email LIKE '%h%' OR username LIKE '%h%')
       AND
       (firstname LIKE '%50%' OR lastname LIKE '%50%' OR
        phone LIKE '%50%' OR email LIKE '%50%' OR username LIKE '%50%')
       AND
       (firstname LIKE '%@l%' OR lastname LIKE '%@l%' OR
        phone LIKE '%@l%' OR email LIKE '%@l%' OR username LIKE '%@l%')
       AND
       (firstname LIKE '%d%' OR lastname LIKE '%d%' OR
        phone LIKE '%d%' OR email LIKE '%d%' OR username LIKE '%d%')
      )

You need to test each criteria separately, not each field.
