 * I would like some help in creating a SQL statement that will query my WordPress
   database and return results based on search terms a user enters.
 * Basically it would be like this.
 * User term 1 (general string)
    User term 2 (zip code)
 * Return results if general string and/or zip code is found in either the title,
   description of the post, or the category of the post.
 * The hard part (for me) is getting the category part.
 * My guess is that it would be a simple SELECT statement with an INNER JOIN, but
   I my SQL skills are very limited.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.
