"Search" tool - cannot do partial word searches with it...

    Benny_C About as subtle as...

    seems to require the entire/exact word for search to work, otherwise it just comes up as 0 results.

    eg, there is the word "emoticons" in one of the threads:
    - I did a search for the exact word "emoticons" (with s on the end) - and it worked perfectly.
    - BUT i then did a search for the word "emoticon" (no s on the end) - and 0 results. :mad:

    Is this fixable???? :confused:

    I freakin' hope so - if not it will drive us nuts... :(

    Try this fix

    Append an asterisk to the partial word being searched and select "show results as posts"

    ie: Search for emoti* .
