Is there a way to make "Find" search words instead of phrase?

I am trying to use the Find task to search a parcel database for addresses.  I can't seem to find a way to have Find search for the individual words in the search instead of the entire phrase.

For example, lets say an address in the database is "123 W Fake St".

If I search "123" or "Fake St" or "123 W Fake" or "123 W Fake St", the parcel comes up in the list of results.  If I search "123 Fake St" (omiting the W directional) it does not show as a result.

Is there anyway to change Find so that a search of "123 Fake St" would return "123 W Fake St" as a possible result?

Thank you.

I don't believe the Find task can do that. You should probably look into Geocoding the address. You can see a sample here (version 1.3):
