substring search?

Post by wesyah2345 »

Is it possible to search for just a part of a word, instead of the full word?

I finally got searching to work after entering a few more articles, but now I notice that it requires full words... I assume this is a result of how mysql fulltext searching/indexing works, just wondering if there is a way around it.

Thanks!

In 0.9 versions of serendipity and on MySQL installations you can make use of "%" wildcards and boolean "+" and "-" operators.
