 * Hi!
 * I would like to get posts by keyword using query_posts.
    So, how can I query 
   posts, that contain “big dog” as content?
 * Thanks.

 * Use a filter to add a WHERE condition:
 *     ```
       function mam_posts_where ($where) {
          global $mam_global_where;
          if ($mam_global_where) $where .= " $mam_global_where";
          return $where;
       }
       add_filter('posts_where','mam_posts_where');
       $mam_global_where = " AND $wpdb->posts.post_content LIKE '%big dog%'";
       query_posts(your args here);
       $mam_global_where = '';  // Turn the filter off!
       ```
