Hello everybody
    I'm trying to make a query in a table to find the records who 
contains a full word 'im looking for.
Here is an example about i'm trying
    code      text
    1            foobar
    2            xxxx foobar
    3            xxxx foobar yyyyy
    4            foobar xxxx
    5            foobars
    6            foobar.
    7            xxxx foobar.
    What i want is to find foobar (records 1, 2, 3 and 4) but no foobars 
(record 5). If i try
SELECT code FROM table WHERE text LIKE '%foobar%'
The result is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. But if I try
SELECT code FROM table WHERE text LIKE '% foobar %'
    The result is only record number 3. How can i search the entire 
FOOBAR word? The result wanted must be all, excepting 5.
Thank you very much.
PD: Sorry about my english
