Search Not Exact Matches Results

Post by clj83 »

Hi,

Is it possible to hack the search module so that it returns search results which are not exact matches?

For example,

If an article is entitled: My New Skis

And you search for, Skis, this will work and return the article in the results.

However,

If you search for, Crazy Skis, this will not work even though the word 'Skis' is still present.

I'm sure other people have had this problem and I have had a good look through the forums and found reference to a hack for 'Fuzzy Search' but couldn't find the post. Is there anything I can do to improve the range of the search?

Thanks

Chris

same problem here!

I found a dev discussion about it, but it seems outdated.
I tried piSearch as well... and this one is definitely outdated as it is impossible to change the templates.

It would be rather nice if someone with some knowledge could help. ;D
