This my stored procedure

alter PROCEDURE t
@search varchar(200)
AS

SET NOCOUNT ON
declare @str as varchar(1028)
declare @str2 as varchar(128)
declare @i as int
declare @count as int

set @str2 = 'PARSENAME(replace(replace(replace(rtrim(ltrim(' + replace(@search,'''','''''') + ')),'''' '''',''''<>''''),''''><'''',''''''''),''''<>'''','''' ''''),'
set @str = ' where merchant_name LIKE ''''%'''' + ' + @str2 + '1) + ''''%'''' '

set @i = 1
SET @Count = (select dbo.WordCount(@search))

while @i <@count
begin

set @i =@i +1
set @str = @str + 'AND merchant_name LIKE ''''%'''' + ' + @str2 + cast(@i as varchar) + ') + ''''%'''' '

exec('select * from merchant ' + @str)
end

GO

when i exec the above stored procedure as this
--- exec t 'taj''s residency'
its showing error ---- Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near ''.

If you instead of executing the statement, just do a

PRINT 'select * from merchant ' + @str

and copy the output, what do you see that is wrong?
When you try to run the copied output which error do you get.

Now fix them.
