Well, a short answerto your direct question would be:
Select id from T where name = 'bleh'
UNION ALL
Select id from T where description = 'bleh';
But since you described what your trying to do, not just how
your trying to do it, doesn't this do it for you?
SELECT id from T where name = 'bleh' and description = 'bleh';
That should give you just the ones where it appears in both.
