I have a SQL table it has more than 1000000 rows, and I need to select with the query as you can see below:

   SELECT DISTINCT TOP (200) COUNT(1) AS COUNT,  KEYWORD
   FROM QUERIES WITH(NOLOCK)
   WHERE KEYWORD LIKE  '%Something%'
   GROUP BY KEYWORD ORDER BY 'COUNT' DESC

Could you please tell me how can I optimize it to speed up the execution process? Thank you for useful answers.
