NEED HELP: WSS Search List and filter resultant listitems...

Hi All,
I am trying to find a method to specify a list, then filter and sort the
listItems based on an expression such as 'ga' would return again, garet,
garnet, and so on.

I have tried wssDAL and it works fine in windows, but when I converted it
into ASPX it didn't like listItem (seemed to conflict with something) but I
did get it to return Lists, just not listItems.....

I have tried getListItem, which seems to be a good fit, but cannot find a
complete project, just tid-bits. The vb/c# code is semi-understandable but
then it goes into XML/CAMAL and that's where I loose it.

I'm assuming the preferred method to get items froma list is via webservice,
but a good example would be helpful. Is there by chance a way to access it
via SQL Server? I'm comfortable in SQL.

Any help would be greately appreciated, especially an example. It doesn't
have to be large, but something to get me past this hump.

Thanks,
Garet
