No search result on partial title?

No search result on partial title?
I've got a link titled nzoom.com in my directory, the title in the links def file has a value of 3, but when I do a search for 'zoom', only a part of the title name, it doesnt come back with any results. If I search for the full title 'nzoom.com' it comes back fine.

Is there a way to make it find results even on partial matches?

Thanks
Regan.

And did you RE-INDEX your directory after editing the Field Definitions??

Yip, sure did. I re-index after adding links, and before each build.

And what search options are you using??? Try using the advanced search form.

Ok, it works under the advanced search box with 'substring' selected. I guess, to get it catching the substrings when not using the advanced box, you'd have to add hidden fields to the normal search form, and possibly call the script as it does in the advanced form?

Right...adding the hidden fields (bool or substring) will provide more accurate results.
