Partial Search Problems
« on: September 16, 2006, 04:30:29 AM »
I am having trouble with partial searches.  For example, if I search for 'horse', it will only bring up topics with that name in keywords or in the title.  That is the way it is supposed to work, I know.

Problem is with partial searches.  For example, when I search for 'horse', it will not bring up items with keywords or topics with 'horses' and 'horseback'. 

Knowing that, I have tried to get those topics as well as the ones from horse in the search with all three examples next;  '*horse' , '*horse*' , and 'horse*' and nothing comes up but the topics brought up by searching 'horse'. 

Any idea how to get everything brought in using a wild card?  I would give my URL, but it is a 'registered only' gallery and you have to be logged in.  Not sure if someone else has an idea how to fix this or can use their own gallery to test this out.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much Veno!   That is exactly what I was trying to do!  Just didn't quite know how to 'search' the forum for it!   :wink:
