Can / Should I use a trigger

Hi All
I have two tables CustomerDetails and CustomerAccounts
CustomerDetails
CustomerId
Name
Address
Town
Postcode
Email
SearchDetails
CustomerAccounts (Many)
Accountid
CustomerId
AccountNumber
CreateDate
Etc
Currently the CustomerDetails.SearchDetails column is a Computed column
which holds all of the address / name / email data which has been Trimmed and
uppered.
In my search for a customer screen a user can search for a whole or partial
words and I generate a simple select statement
SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER DETAILS WHERE SEARCHDETAILS LIKE 'XXX'
a list of possible matches is then displayed to the user. This works fine.
I now have to add a list of accountid's / account numbers from the related
CustomerAccounts table. So a use could type in a partial name and account
number. I can't display multiple rows per account number.
So I'd like my CustomerDetails.SearchDetails tO contain the value
'DAVIDDASHERADDRESS1ADDRESS2TOWNPOSTCODEDAVIDDASHE R@.EMAIL.COM ACCOUNTNUMBER1
ACCOUNTNUMBER2'
I know this is possible in Oracle, just not too sure about my options in sql
server 2005
Any help would be most appreciated
Regards
David
