Mysql REGEXP 2 words -- Same as AND LIKE - mysql

Question

I have
SELECT p.*, gc.*, g.*, m.*, b.*
FROM (products AS p)
LEFT JOIN merchants AS m
ON m.merchantId = p.merchantId
LEFT JOIN brands AS b
ON b.brand = p.brand
LEFT JOIN groups_content gc
ON p.brand = gc.brandsSelect
LEFT JOIN groups g
ON g.group_id = gc.group_id
WHERE `p`.`percentOff` > gc.percent_off
AND `g`.`group_active` = 1
AND `p`.`price_sale` BETWEEN gc.price_min
AND gc.price_max
AND `gc`.`group_content_id` = '180'
AND `p`.`keyword` LIKE '%women%' AND `p`.`keyword` LIKE '%jacket%'
AND `p`.`status` = 1
ORDER BY p.price_sale ASC
this return me 158 results
Also I have
SELECT p.*, gc.*, g.*, m.*, b.*
FROM (products AS p)
LEFT JOIN merchants AS m
ON m.merchantId = p.merchantId
LEFT JOIN brands AS b
ON b.brand = p.brand
LEFT JOIN groups_content gc
ON p.brand = gc.brandsSelect
LEFT JOIN groups g
ON g.group_id = gc.group_id
WHERE `p`.`percentOff` > gc.percent_off
AND `g`.`group_active` = 1
AND `p`.`price_sale` BETWEEN gc.price_min
AND gc.price_max
AND `gc`.`group_content_id` = '180'
AND `p`.`keyword` REGEXP 'women.+jacket'
AND `p`.`status` = 1
ORDER BY p.price_sale ASC
This should return me same result like previous. But returns me just 17 results. What I am doing wrong?
----------
AFTER MANY SEARCHES here it is the right REGEXP
AND p.`keyword` REGEXP '^(.+jacket.+women.+)|^(.+women.+jacket.+).*$'

Your regex and like are not equivalent statements:
CREATE TABLE tab(keyword VARCHAR(100));
INSERT INTO tab(keyword)
VALUES ('jacket for women');
SELECT *
FROM tab p
WHERE `p`.`keyword` LIKE '%women%' AND `p`.`keyword` LIKE '%jacket%';
-- jacket for women
SELECT *
FROM tab p
WHERE p.`keyword` REGEXP 'women.+jacket';
-- (empty)
SqlFiddleDemo
"woman" anywhere in string and "jacket" anywhere in string
vs.
"woman" at the beginning, then any characters then "jacket" at the end
EDIT:
But How do I get -- "woman" anywhere in string and "jacket" anywhere
in string --- using regular expression?
One way is to use:
SELECT *
FROM tab
WHERE keyword REGEXP '.*women.*'
AND keyword REGEXP '.*jacket.*';
I am sure there exists one regex for this case.
