Can anyone give me ideas or recommendations on how to build a multiple search algorithm?

For example, I have a products table in my MySQL database, and I’d like to be able to search for multiple keywords in the title and description columns. These keywords could contain multiple words, for example: “blue electric bosch toaster machine”.

What would be the optimal method for accomplishing this?

So far I was thinking about:
1. Using the LIKE “%$keywords%” in MySQL
2. Spliting the keywords based on whitespace, and searching on each individual word, but I think it’s best that I search for the whole keyword.
