I asked about how to speed up a query using many NOT LIKE %45% statements. I am starting to understand what I need to do, thanks to some advice. Since I am a newbie sql wannabee, it will take me a while. I am still not there yet, I think the best plan is to make another column tinyint, and mark the records I do not want to show. I am not quite sure of they syntax and how to do "if this, insert this data into the records column tinyint" so that I use that as a marker of a record NOT to show. I would figure I do that every once a month or so to mark all the records I don't want to show during a query. Any other ideas? Maybe it's easier to just filter them in the php web code?

One thing I did find out was that mysql had query_cache_size = 0. I set it to 80 megabytes and now any duplicate query is instant!! Nice. . .I was wondering why it couldn't cache duplicate searchs and some other things like that.
