    I would split your string (comma delimited) into a temp table on your word phrases and perform a join to the Students table. From there you can make better use of the data than you would have in string format

    There are plenty ways of splitting a string into a table:

    http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=50648

    Once you have your temp table you can use something like this.

    SELECT S.*
    FROM Students S (NOLOCK)
    JOIN @tmpArticles A
      ON S.Articles LIKE '%' + A.Article '%'
    

    A word of caution though, using LIKE on %X% has terrible performance, so question your approach if you have a LOT of string data.

    This problem seems more geared towards a Full Text Search approach (FTS)
