Searching for a portion of a word

I am having problems searching for a portion of a word in MediaWiki
1.11.0.

Using the MediaWiki search, if I look for the word "fellowship" on a
page, I get
> a return. However, if I just look for part of the word, like
> "fellow", I don't get the
> result I want................
>
> do you know how to fix that ?

Re: Searching for a portion of a word [In reply to]

You need to use a wildcard, designated by an asterisk.

For search returns that include "fellow" and "fellows", try fellow*
For search returns that include "fellows" and "fellowship", try fellows*
