title: SQLite LIKE alternative for REGEXP, Match Start of Any Word
body: <p>It does not seem possible to use REGEXP in a SQLite query in Android. If it is possible, please point me in the right direction.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to use a LIKE condition to query for an expression at the beginning of any word in the result? </p>
  
  <p>Example:  </p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p><strong>Entries:</strong><br>
   1. Minimum<br>
   2. Aluminum<br>
   3. Last Minute</p>
  
  <p><strong>Query:</strong><br>
  "min"</p>
  
  <p><strong>Desired Result</strong><br>
  (1) Minimum<br>
  (3) Last Minute </p>
  
  <p><strong>NOT</strong><br>
  (2) Aluminum</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>This is basically my current code, which would return (2)Aluminum:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public Cursor search(String query) {
      return mDb.query(TABLE, COLUMNS, KEY_NAME +" like ?", new String[] { "%"+query+"%" }, null, null, null);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any help will be greatly appreciated!</p>
