MySQL CONCAT in WHERE Statement (Multi Tables)

My problem is pretty simple - at least I hope it is. I am try to join two tables in MySQL and the perform a WHERE statement on a concatenated field to produce a result. Here is the sample query:

SELECT a.name, b.company, concat_ws(' ', a.company, b.name) as whole_name  
FROM users as a  
INNER JOIN company as b on a.company_id = b.company_id  
HAVING whole_name LIKE '%IBM John%'  
LIMIT 25

This query seems to still be pulling from the name column and will return no results. I've tried this by doing:

SELECT a.name, b.company, concat_ws(' ', a.company, b.name) as whole_name  
FROM users as a  
INNER JOIN company as b on a.company_id = b.company_id  
WHERE concat_ws(' ', a.company, b.name) LIKE '%IBM John%'  
LIMIT 25

And it still doesn't yield any results. The data is absolutely in the table. The company for John is IBM Computer Systems.开发者_如何学JAVA The whole_name field would return 'IBM Computer Systems John Smith' but a query on '%IBM John%' return nothing.

Any help?

Thanks, Greg

Need a % between IBM and John... it's looking for "IBM John" somewhere in the text... not IBM then John somewhere further along..
