Search module / why cannot search for partial occurence of a phrase?

[docman]

Hi, I wonder if anyone would have some suggestion as to how to improve on the Search module in sence of enabling it for searching for the partial occurence of a search term.

An example:

Search term="global"
The occurrence of the word "globalism" is verified in one of the contents.
Currently the module return a result=NULL.

What would be more useful is:

Search term="global"
The occurrence of the word "globalism" is verified in one of the contents.
Result="globalism".

Thanks a lot.

I believe the current search is for exact matches, rather than fuzzy matches.

This has been discussed before, and if you search the forums, I think you'll find a hack that implements fuzzy searching.  Use at your own risk.

Thanks. I look more in depth, then.

You can try pisearch module ... it's older, but has some more options.
