You're missing the point.

AND OR CONTAINS is the Operator. And we're passing list of keywords.

So, if we passed AND operator, it would mean

SELECT YourTable.*
FROM YourTable
INNER JOIN dbo.ufn_alines(@Keywords) TmpSplit ON YourTable.SomeField =TmpSplit.Item

Similar for CONTAIN.

However, for OR operator there is no way.

Here is a link to Sergey's function (I recommend it at .NET forum all the time).
