Say I have a list of words: printer,network,wireless,urgent

Answer 1

Not sure this would work with MySQL regex engine but the regex (using lookarounds) below can achieve what you are looking for. Will find the words of interest irrespective of the order in which they occur:

^(?=.*printer)(?=.*network)(?=.*wireless)(?=.*urgent).*$
