MYSQL: Can you pull results that match like 3 out of 4 expressions?

Question

Say I have a query like this:

SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE name = \"john doe\" AND phone = \"8183321234\" AND email = \"johndoe@yahoo.com\" AND address = \"330 s         


        

Answer 1

SELECT
  * 
FROM 
  my_table 
WHERE 
  CASE WHEN name = "john doe"           THEN 1 ELSE 0 END +
  CASE WHEN phone = "8183321234"        THEN 1 ELSE 0 END +
  CASE WHEN email = "johndoe@yahoo.com" THEN 1 ELSE 0 END +
  CASE WHEN address = "330 some lane"   THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
  >= 3;

Side note: this will very likely not be using indexes efficiently. On the other hand, there will very likely be no indexes on these kinds of columns anyway.
