Searching for part of a word isn't working.
i.e. searching for.. distinct ..should find the word... distinctive
but it isn't doing this, what am I doing wrong?
I notice this has been asked before but couldn't find an answer...
I have tested both on my local test server and on a live test site
Regards
Phil

Hello,
Can you tell me what database and server model are you using (PHP, ASP, CF)? Also, what have you selected from the "Indexing type" drop-down?
Regards,
Razvan RACASANU

Hi,
I am using php/mysql and have tried it with both "fulltext" and "boolean fulltext" (mysql is later than version 4...)
Regards

Hello,
In boolean fulltext you can use the "*" operator for prefix matching. For more information on this and available operators, please read this page from the MySQL documentation.

thanks for your prompt replies Razvan, so does this mean that the user must type *
or could I alter my mx_site_search to automatically add * before and after every word?
Kind Regards
Phil

Hello,
No, the user will have to specify that it wants a prefix search so he must enter it.

Hi Razvan,
I want to make the search as simple for the user as poss, therefore would there be an easy way for me to simply add the * to the end of the string by altering/tweaking something in the include files? This way if someone only types one word they have more chance of decent results rather than only exact matches. Unfortunately, this is the only thing which is preventing me from being able to use mx_site_search as at the moment my client's existing basic frontpage keyword search appears to be working more effectively.
Regards
Phil

Hello,
No, it is not very easy to do so, because multiple words must also be considered which complicates things as the * must be added after each one.
