Anonymous Monk,

Perhaps I am not understanding the question you trying to ask, would you not be better doing something like:

select * from description_table 
where description column = 'My name is Robert Jr.'
[download]

Update: The answer above is based purely on the 'we only want "My name is Robert Jr." to be returned.'

Please read the PerlMonks FAQ and How do I post a question effectively? if you have not done so already.
