Where value in column containing comma delimited values

WHERE
      MyColumn LIKE '%,' + @search + ',%' --middle
      OR
      MyColumn LIKE @search + ',%' --start
      OR
      MyColumn LIKE '%,' + @search --end
      OR 
      MyColumn =  @search --single (good point by Cheran S in comment)

There is one tricky scenario. If I am looking for '40' in the list '17,34,400,12' then it would find ",40" and return that incorrect entry. This takes care of all solutions:

WHERE (',' + RTRIM(MyColumn) + ',') LIKE '%,' + @search + ',%'
