Hi,
try this
declare @option varchar(2),
@search varchar(100)
select @option = 'EX'--for Exact matches
--or 'BE' for beginning with
--or 'EN' for ending with
select @search = 'Chapter 1'
select * from #tbl
where Name like (case when @option = 'EX'then @search
when @option = 'BE'then ('%'+@search)
when @option = 'EN'then (@search+'%')end)
/*IF required add this filter */
and Name (case when @option in('BE','EN')then @search else ''end)

I would suggest using more than one column to store the data, then your users can search intelligently.
create table dbo.Chapters
(chapterID int not null,
sectionID int not null,
csDescription varchar(100) not null
)
insert into dbo.Chapters
select 1,1,'Introduction'
union select 1,2,'Chapter One'
union select 2,1,'Chapter Two - Something About Dinosaurs'
union select 2,2,'Chapter Two - Something About Trees'
union select 2,3,'Chapter Two - Something About Fish'
union select 3,1,'Something About Algae'
union select 4,1,'Something About Fungi'
union select 4,2,'Something About Bacteria'
union select 4,3,'Something About Slimes & Moulds'
