    I assume you’re using SQL Server. Then your query contains a problem that has nothing to do with Hibernate or Java. It’s just about the syntax of the CONTAINS operator. Just try it with any tool that can directly query the database.

    If you want to query for two words, the syntax is either of the following:

    select * from person where contains(name, 'Bob AND Jones');
select * from person where contains(name, 'Bob OR Jones');
select * from person where contains(name, '"Bob Jones"');

    If you additionally want to query for prefixes, it’s:

    select * from person where contains(name, 'Bob* AND Jones*');
select * from person where contains(name, 'Bob* OR Jones*');
select * from person where contains(name, '"Bob Jones*"');

    You cannot put the asterisk in front of a word or phrase.

    I recommend you have a look at the description of the CONTAINS operator.

    Update:

    Thanks for your comment. If you look at your old code, you’ll note the extra pair of double quotes that enclosed the second argument to CONTAINS, similar to my third and last example. That’s what’s missing in your current code. So to fix it:

    String myName = "Bob Jones";
q.setString("myName", "\"*" + myName + "*\"");
