php/mySQL search/mysql_num_rows() error

I'm working on some search engine code from devpapers.com and keep coming up
against an error when testing.
This is the error I get:
Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result
resource in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TMP8j9vfrf3s.php on line 36
Couldn't execute query
-------------------------------
These are lines 33 through 36:
$query = "SELECT * FROM links WHERE pageURL LIKE \"%$trimm%\" OR
pageDesc LIKE \"%$trimm%\" OR pageTitle LIKE \"%$trimm%\" ORDER BY pageLink
DESC" ;
// Execute the query to get number of rows that contain search
keywords
$numresults = mysql_query($query);
$row_num_links_main = mysql_num_rows($numresults);
-----------------------------------
I'm guessing it's a simple syntax error and I just can't see it after
looking at it so long, so maybe a different set of eyes will see it.

This is the full code (in case you're still reading and need to see the
whole thing):
<?php
require_once('Connections/website.php');
//specify how many results to display per page
$limit = 10;
// Get the search variable from URL
$var = @$_GET['q'] ;
//trim whitespace from the stored variable
$trimmed = trim($var);
//separate key-phrases into keywords
$trimmed_array = explode(" ",$trimmed);
// check for an empty string and display a message.
if ($trimmed == "") {
$resultmsg = "<p>Search Error</p><p>Please enter a search...</p>" ;
}
// check for a search parameter
if (!isset($var)){
$resultmsg = "<p>Search Error</p><p>We don't seem to have a search
parameter! </p>" ;
}
// Build SQL Query for each keyword entered
foreach ($trimmed_array as $trimm){
// EDIT HERE and specify your table and field names for the SQL query
$query = "SELECT * FROM links WHERE pageURL LIKE \"%$trimm%\" OR
pageDesc LIKE \"%$trimm%\" OR pageTitle LIKE \"%$trimm%\" ORDER BY pageLink
DESC" ;
// Execute the query to get number of rows that contain search
keywords
$numresults = mysql_query($query);
$row_num_links_main = mysql_num_rows($numresults);
// next determine if 's' has been passed to script, if not use 0.
// 's' is a variable that gets set as we navigate the search result
pages.
if (empty($s)) {
$s=0;
}
// now let's get results.
$query .= " LIMIT $s,$limit" ;
$numresults = mysql_query ($query) or die ( "Couldn't execute
query" );
$row= mysql_fetch_array ($numresults);
//store record id of every item that contains the keyword in the array
we need to do this to avoid display of duplicate search result.
do{
//EDIT HERE and specify your field name that is primary key
$adid_array[] = $row[ 'pageID' ];
}while( $row= mysql_fetch_array($numresults));
} //end foreach
if($row_num_links_main == 0 && $row_set_num == 0){
$resultmsg = "<p>Search results for:" . $trimmed ."</p><p>Sorry, your
search returned zero results</p>" ;

//delete duplicate record id's from the array. To do this we will use
array_unique function
$tmparr = array_unique($adid_array);
$i=0;

function.

more fileds make sure that add appropriate line.
