You cannot use CASE statements, because there are none in T-SQL. But
you can use CASE expressions in a WHERE clause:
WHERE CASE WHEN @SearchTerm LIKE <a ticket number>
THEN TicketNumber LIKE '%' + @SearchTerm + '%'
WHEN @SearchTerm LIKE <a haluers name>
THEN Haulers.Name
ELSE Leases.LeaseName
END LIKE '%' + @SearchTerm + '%'
